“New trends in Superconductive Quantum Detectors” School
The school on “New trends in Superconductive Quantum Detectors” was held in Genoa, Italy from 9-13 September 2013. It was organised by the European Society for Applied Superconductivity [ESAS].
Roberta Caruso – member of the Naples Section of the EPS Young Minds Project – reported that “It was such an incredible opportunity for me, because I had the chance to attend lectures from some of the most outstanding scientists in the field of superconductors and, of no less importance, I had the chance to meet a lot of…
First successful quantum teleportation in a computer chip
Physicists at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich [ETH Zurich] have for the first time successfully teleported information in a solid-state system, similar to a computer chip. The major achievement of this study is that the information is not stored and processed based on the laws of classical physics, like conventional computer chips, but on those of quantum physics. The experimental device developed could serve as the basis for future…
IUPAP Young Scientist Prize in Quantum Electronics
The IUPAP Commission on Quantum Electronics C17 is presently soliciting nominations for its biennial Young Scientist Prizes in Quantum Electronics to be presented at the International Optics & Photonics Taiwan Conference in Zhongli, Taiwan, on 5-7 December 2013.
Two prizes will be awarded for outstanding contributions to quantum electronics and its applications made by young scientists with a maximum of 8 years of research experience, counted from the nomination deadline…
Physicists peer into hydrogen atom using quantum microscope
An international team of physicists has directly observed for the first time the orbital structure of an excited hydrogen atom by building a quantum-like microscope. This device allowed them to gaze deep inside the hydrogen atom by magnifying its orbital structure to laboratory-scale dimensions.
Quantum mechanics rules the micro-scale world. The development of this theory in the early 20th century changed the way scientists understand nature. Central to this theory is the concept of…
ICNFP 2013

Cold and Ultra Cold Molecules conference
The “Cold and Ultra Cold Molecules” research conference is being held in Obergurgl, Austria, on 18-23 November this year. The conference will cover topics within this emerging field, such as the production of cold and ultracold molecules; applications for precision spectroscopy; few-body and many-body quantum physics; chemical physics; and quantum chemistry.
The event is being organised by the European Science Foundation and the University of Innsbruck…
Quantum School
The Advanced School on Quantum Foundations and Open Quantum Systems will be held between 16-28 July this year, at the Tropical Hotel Tambaú, in João Pessoa, Brazil. The event aims to train young researchers and encourage the exchange of knowledge across various research areas.
Topics under discussion at the school will include: beyond the quantum; open quantum systems; philosophy of quantum mechanics; quantum information; quantum statistical physics and quantum solid state…
