A new way to use neutrons

Novel neutron interferometry technique is more powerful and practical

Researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC), in collaboration with researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Institute of Health (NIH), have developed a neutron interferometry technique that is more powerful, robust and practical than existing techniques, paving the way for advances in imaging, materials science, and fundamental physics and quantum research.

Shaping photons on-demand

Experiment finds way to increase photon efficiency for quantum communications

A team of researchers at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) demonstrated a new type of on-demand single photon generator that can shape photons to increase their efficiency when used in a quantum network.

Next-generation communication networks will rely on the transmission of quantum information. Single photons, as carriers of quantum information, will play an integral role in building these future networks.

The Institute for Quantum Computing is pleased to announce a call for entries to the flash fiction competition. The competition is open to stories up to 1000 words long that take inspiration from quantum physics and include the phrase 鈥淭here are only two possibilities: yes or no鈥. The competition is free to enter, offering prizes of up to US $1500.
