Entanglement is an extremely strong correlation that can exist between quantum systems. These correlations are so strong that two or more entangled particles have to be described with reference to each other, even though the individual objects may be spatially separated.

It has been shown that even if two uncorrelated quantum systems that don’t know anything about each other can still become entangled in a quantum vacuum without being limited by the speed of light.

Researchers from the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ and the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) have, for the first time, converted the colour and bandwidth of ultrafast single photons using a room-temperature quantum memory in diamond.

What if checking for monsters under your bed doomed a parallel you to a grisly end? A story that explores this fear of a girl aged six and three quarter years has won the 2015 Quantum Shorts international competition for flash fiction inspired by quantum physics.

Researchers have successfully integrated an on-demand light source in a silicon-based chip, the first fully integrated quantum optics approach that is compatible with current technology in the semiconductor industry, such as existing computer processors and memories.

An international team of researchers from the University of Toronto, Griffith University (Brisbane), and the Institute for Quantum Computing (À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ) demonstrate "surrealistic" quantum trajectories in the lab.

Postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) Aharon Brodutch and Eliahu Cohen (Tel Aviv University, University of Bristol) have developed a new method for designing complex quantum measurements.

A team lead by researchers from the Institute for Quantum Computing and the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ has successfully detected the presence of single photons while preserving their quantum states.
