Quantum interference in molecule-surface collisions
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL have revealed how quantum interference and symmetry dictate molecular behavior in collisions with gold surfaces, offering new insights into molecular interactions. The findings can have important implications for chemistry and materials science.
When quantum computing meets the real world
Research
EPFL
Quantum computing could be one of the big technological revolutions of the coming decades. At EPFL, scientists are at the forefront of harnessing quantum technologies to address real-world issues, aligning their efforts with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Unique quantum simulator opens door to new research
Research
PSI
Physicists have built a new type of digital-analogue quantum simulator in Google’s laboratory, which can be used to study physical processes with unprecedented precision and flexibility. Two physicists from PSI’s Center for Scientific Computing, Theory and Data, played a key role in this achievement. 
Young researcher sheds light on quantum molecules
Research
Empa
Empa researcher Eve Ammerman wants to bring quantum technologies one step closer to application by combining quantum effects with light. This should enable future quantum-based devices to communicate better with existing technologies. Her research project is being supported with a two-year Empa Young Scientist Fellowship.
Macroscopic oscillators move as one at the quantum level
Research
EPFL
EPFL scientists have successfully achieved a quantum collective behavior of macroscopic mechanical oscillators, unlocking new possibilities in quantum technology.
Between crystals, cats and quantum
Research
ETH Zurich
ETH Professor Yiwen Chu is investigating how to apply quantum states to ever larger objects. This should help to gain new insights into physics and develop more efficient technologies. She has now been awarded the ETH Zurich Latsis Prize for her outstanding research.
