Quantum dots are not dots
21. december 2010
Researchers from the Quantum Photonics Group at DTU Fotonik in collaboration with the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen surprise the scientific world with the discovery that light emission from solid-state photon...
Quantum memory for communication networks of the future
07. november 2010
Researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute have succeeded in storing quantum information using two 'entangled' light beams. Quantum memory is a necessary element of future quantum communication networks...
Quarks 'swing' to the tones of random numbers
27. september 2010
At the Large Hadron Collider at CERN protons crash into each other at incredibly high energies in order to 'smash' the protons and to study the elementary particles of nature – including quarks...
Important step towards quantum communication
05. august 2010
For the first time, researchers from Harvard University and the Niels Bohr Institute have succeeded in connecting information from light to a solid state atom. It is an important step towards quantum communication over...
Improvement of superconductors within reach
08. juli 2010
An international group of physicists from the University of Augsburg in Germany, the University of Florida in Gainesville, and the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen have succeeded in creating a theoretical...
Record measurement of extremely small magnetic fields
12. april 2010
Researchers at the research center QUANTOP at the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen have constructed an atomic magnetometer, which has achieved the highest sensitivity allowed by quantum mechanics.
New light shed on old dispute between Einstein and Bohr
18. januar 2010
In classical physics there are no uncertainties – the properties of matter on an atomic level are deterministic, that is to say predetermined. The theories of quantum mechanics, however, only say something about how...
