Starting with the development of microscopes which enabled
the discovery of bacteria time and again, physicists have discovered and
then harnessed natural phenomena and the proceeded to use them to
open new windows of observation into the life sciences. Examples include

Prof. Lukasz Fidkowski: "How Dynamical Quantum Memories Forget"

Weekly seminar

21 Jan 2021

16:30

Making local measurements on an entangled quantum many-body state is expected to reduce quantum entanglement. However, recently it was found that in the thermodynamic limit it is possible to robustly protect quantum entanglement from continuous local measurements.

Weekly seminar

07 Jan 2021

16:30

Cold atoms and ions provide one of the best ways to build controllable quantum many-body systems as quantum computers and quantum simulators. Here we report on recent developments in programming quantum simulators with focus on hybrid classical-quantum scenarios.

Weekly seminar

19 Nov 2020

16:30

To the recorded seminar Atomic, molecular, and optical systems often exhibit long-range interactions, which decay with distance r as a power law 1/r^alpha. In this talk, we will discuss bounds on how quickly quantum information can propagate in such systems.

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.
