“Computers are physical systems, and so are our brains. Therefore, they are subject to physical laws that determine what they can and cannot calculate,” points out Prof. Itai Arad, a theoretical physicist who researches the field of quantum information. He is determined to better understand physical systems by drawing on tools and insights from a variety of disciplines – including condensed matter physics, information theory, computer science and statistical mechanics. Specifically, Prof.
  Why get your degree from the Technion? The Technion, the first and leading institute of Technology in Israel, offers world-class teaching and research opportunities in Quantum Science and Technology (QST). It encompasses first-class engineering along with leading science faculties.  The Technion has been the nucleus of the high-tech industry in northern Israel and provides much of the skilled manpower to the high-tech and defense industry.
Assistant Prof. Eran Lustig, 38, who recently joined the Technion’s faculty, brings with him an impressive resumé of cutting-edge research in nonlinear and quantum optics within photonic microchips and integrated photonic platforms. He has ambitious plans for his new lab at the Technion and aims to realize his vision of developing novel photonic integrated microchips as well as exploring and engineering the quantum optical interactions within them.
