Cybersecurity based on Optical Quantum Communications

University of Padua opens a new research line in experimental quantum computing, with a new trapped ion laboratory. The experiment, trapping Barium ions, focuses on developing algorithms and protocols for quantum computing and simulations, and on the design of scalable quantum systems.

We study how the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics govern electronic transport in micro or nano-devices made of exotic quantum materials. In particular, topological phases represent an ideal playground with rich and exotic physics connected to the peculiar topological properties of the electronic wave functions in those materials.

The group led by Prof. Alexey Ustinov is located at the university campus of KIT and has a long successful record of exploring the physics of superconducting circuits, both classical and quantum. We are using superconducting qubits for state-of-the-art experiments, challenge new physics questions and explore opportunities for the next generation of quantum information processing. Our group pioneered frequency domain multiplexing readout of qubits, detection and manipulation of microscopic two-level defects, and studied qubit arrays as quantum metamaterials.

We are a young experimental research group, interested in improving our understanding and control of the photonic properties of nanostructured materials and devices. In our work, we combine material development with photonic and optoelectronic device design to come up with new concepts for next generation sensing and energy technologies. To unravel the underlying physical phenomena in these systems, we employ a variety of spatially-resolved transient spectroscopy techniques.

The Quantum Optics in the Solid-State (QOSS) Group at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (Spain) is an experimental research group devoted to the study of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. We are a dynamic and innovative team of experimentalists dedicated to exploring the fascinating intersection of quantum optics and novel quantum materials.

The Cold and Controlled Molecules and Ions Group at the University of Basel (Switzerland), headed by Prof. Stefan Willitsch, specialises in the preparation and control of cold molecules and molecular ions and their applications. The research of the group is highly interdisciplinary, situated at the interface between quantum optics, quantum physics, chemistry and the nanosciences.

The research of the Cold Molecular Ions Group at the University of Basel (Switzerland) is concerned with the preparation and control of cold molecules and molecular ions and their applications. The research of the group is highly interdisciplinary and with relevance to both physics and chemistry.

We are developing a microwave ion trap capable of confining ultra-cold plasmas. The main long-term objective is to cool the electrons so much that they de-localise over several ions in a Coulomb crystal stored in a Paul trap. Such a quantum-mechanical system shall be used as quantum gates in the future. Still, we are mainly interested in interactions of the quasi-free electrons with the external electro/magnetic fields.
