Prof. Ronnie Koslof- "Quantum thermodynamics, Quantum control, Quantum gates"

Weekly seminar

23 Apr 2026

14:30

Any quantum system is inherently open, continuously interacting with its environment. Therefore, effective manipulation of quantum devices must account for this reality. Control of open quantum systems is vital for advancing modern quantum science and technology.

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.

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.

Toward a New Era in Electron Microscopy and Medical Imaging

Prof. Ido Kaminer and Prof. Yehonadav Bekenstein of the Technion have been awarded ERC Proof of Concept (PoC) grants by the European Research Council. The grants are expected to lead to a major leap forward in low-radiation medical imaging and in the precise mapping of biological tissues. Proof of Concept grants are feasibility grants designed to promote the transition from academic research to application and commercialization, including the establishment of a startup company, and are awarded only to researchers who have previously received ERC grants.

Who Moved My Atom?

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..
