Prof. Michel Devoret: "A fully stabilized logical quantum bit encoded in grid states of a superconducting cavity"

09 Jan 2020

The operation of universal quantum computers is easily derailed by noise that modifies the state of physical qubits, causing logical errors. Fortunately, such errors can be detected and corrected if quantum information is encoded non-locally.

Prof. Michel Devoret: "Catching and reversing a quantum jump mid-flight"

08 Jan 2020

Measurements in quantum physics, unlike their classical physics counterparts, can fundamentally yield discrete and random results. Historically, Niels Bohr was the first to hypothesize that quantum jumps occurred between two discrete energy levels of an atom.

Meet our new faculty-Dr. Ron Tenne

In March 2025, Dr. Ron Tenne will be returning from an extended postdoc in Germany to join the Technion as a member of the Schulich Faculty of Chemistry and the Helen Diller Quantum Center – 15 years after ...

Meet our new faculty-Prof. Avi Zadok

Unlike most new faculty members, Prof. Avinoam (Avi) Zadok recently joined the Technion’s Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the pinnacle of an impressive career as the ...

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.
