Gefen Baranes (MIT and Harvard University) :"Designing Fault-Tolerant Scalable Blind Quantum Computation: Architecture and Experiment"

Weekly seminar

24 Jul 2025

14:30

Blind quantum computing (BQC) allows a client to delegate quantum computations to a server while keeping both data and algorithms private. However, practical BQC faces major challenges when scaling to fault-tolerant regimes due to losses, overhead, and limited client capabilities.

Prof. Israel Klich (University of Virginia): "Swaps, displacements, non-stabilizerness and entanglement"

Weekly seminar

22 Jul 2025

14:30

In this talk, I will present a beautiful—yet seemingly little-known—relation that expresses the SWAP operator in quantum mechanics as an average over Heisenberg-Weyl displacements. This relation holds for qubits, qudits, and even continuous-variable systems in quantum optics.

Weekly seminar

08 Apr 2025

14:30

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as a promising platform for quantum optics due to the presence of stable and bright color centers that act as single-photon sources (SPSs).

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.
