The microscope was conceived as a “classical” instrument, long before the dawn of quantum mechanics. Similarly, the resolution limit of the microscope was derived by Ernst Abbe in 1873, implicitly assuming the wave nature of light.

The Abbe derivation of the diffraction limit relied on several assumptions, either implicit or explicit. Breaking these has allowed for far-field superresolution imaging, culminating in the Nobel prize in Chemistry of 2014.

State distribution and coordination are important in quantum communication, computation, and cryptography. The main objective in network coordination is to generate nontrivial correlations between users in a multi-user quantum network, i.e., prepare a desired multi-partite state. Implications includ

Uncertainty relations play a crucial role in quantum mechanics [1]. On the one hand, we have shown that the locality of generalized uncertainty relations [2] gives rise to both known and hitherto unknown bounds on quantum correlations, e.g. [3-5].

Who Moved My Atom?

11 Nov 2024

An experimental setup built at the Technion Faculty of Physics demonstrates the transfer of atoms from one place to another through quantum tunneling between optical tweezers. Led by Prof. Yoav Sagi and doctoral student Yanay Florshaim from the Solid State Institute, the research was published in Science Advances.

How does light propagate in integrated circuits on chips?

Researchers at the Technion are answering this question and paving the way to new applications in communication, imaging, and quantum computing. The field of photonic integrated circuits focuses on the miniaturization of photonic elements and their integration in photonic chips – circuits that carry out a range of calculations using..

Yuval Shagam won an ERC grant

Assistant Professor Yuval Shagam from the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry is a member of the Helen Diller Quantum Center. He focuses on understanding molecular chirality: a molecule or ion that cannot be superposed on its mirror image. Such molecules are often distinguished as either “right-handed” or “left-handed.” Molecular chirality plays a central role in many fields, ranging from reaction dynamics to drug development. Molecules of opposite-handedness, known as enantiomers, can have different smells and different medicinal properties among other things.

Toward the discovery of new quantum phenomena that have yet to be observed: Prof. Ido Kaminer of the Technion won an ERC Consolidator grant

Prof. Ido Kaminer of the Viterbi Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering won an ERC Consolidator grant from the European Research Council.ERC Consolidator grants support select scientists who propose pioneering, ground-breaking research ideas. The grant will be used by Prof. Kaminer’s research team to develop a theory and innovative experimental platform for a new field in electron microscopy: Q-in-PINEM. The research will focus on creating new quantum states and identifying unique quantum properties for materials.

Atomic-scale spin-optical laser: new horizon for optoelectronics

Researchers from the Technion have pushed the limits of the possible in the field of atomic-scale spin-optics, creating a spin-optical laser from monolayer-integrated spin-valley microcavities without requiring magnetic fields or cryogenic temperatures
