The "Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology" is a joint initiative of the University of Vienna, the Vienna University of Technology, and the Austrian Academy of Sciences, which unites quantum physicists of Vienna's research institutions in one collaborative center. The VCQ covers fundamental quantum physics and novel quantum technologies.
Research Focus: Hybrid Simulation Techniques for Experimental QKD , Hybrid Quantum - Digital Cryptography Schemes & Quantum Internet
Our goal in the Centre for Quantum Photonics is to explore fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics, as well as work towards future photonic quantum technologies by generating, manipulating and measuring single photons as well as the quantum systems that emit these photons, with a focus on scalable integrated optics devices.
Lead by Prof. Jeremy O'Brien, the Centre spans the School of Physics, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and the Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information, at the University of Bristol, UK.

Our group performs researches, both experimental and theoretical, devoted to the investigation of entanglement in quantum mechanics and its application to quantum technologies, as quantum information processing and quantum metrology.
More in detail, many experiments based on the use of entangled pairs of photons have been performed, or are on realisation, using the eight laboratories of "Carlo Novero lab" (devoted to the memory of Carlo Novero who began this activity at IEN). Among them:
