• Scientists from ITMO University Describe and Emulate New Quantum State of Entangled Photons

  …niversity physicists have accomplished.  “The main point of our work is not only the prediction of topological two-photon states, but also emulation of such multiparticle quantum states,” explains Nikita Olekhno. “A lot can be explained through analogy. For instance, when I tell school students about optical resonant nanoparticles, I compare them with acoustic r…

• ITMO University Retains Its Standing in Academic Ranking of World Universities

  …ab. In this study, the researchers have described mathematical models that can be used to predict changes in public opinion; On-chip generation of high-dimensional entangled quantum states and their coherent control (Nature), co-authored by Roberto Morandotti, a professor at the Department of Laser Systems and Technologies. Authors of this study developed an optica…

• Five ITMO University Scientists Awarded SRIE Scholarship

  …ectric field of a radiofrequency trap. In my research, I propose to cool the nanocrystal to temperatures close to zero, which coincides with its transition to a macroscopic quantum state. In this state, the nanocrystal starts to develop quantum properties. At the same time, it is too big to be an object of the microworld and too small for people to be able to see …

• Quantum Computing: Challenges, Prospects, and Current Developments

  …nt of elements in the system. At the same time, if we were to do it quantum-mechanically, the process would occur naturally. It should also be noted that, unlike classic bits, quantum states cannot be copied because an evolution operator is a unitary operator. In 1994, Peter Shor shown that quantum algorithms can find prime factors at an exponentially higher p…

• Quantum Physicist Oleksandr Kyriienko on the Future of Computing and Making a Career in Science

  … necessary to teach them to correct their mistakes. However, what we can do with quantum computers is simulate quantum systems. Scientists have already managed to preserve the quantum state of numerous atoms or photons; with just a hundred of such particles, called qubits, it is possible to perform some really complex calculations. I believe that in five years physic…

• Physicists Discover Way to Control Transitions Between States of Matter

  …ape. In other words, despite being a collective state consisting of many particles, a soliton behaves like a single particle. At the same time, a Bose-Einstein condensate is a quantum state of matter where all particles, in our case polaritons, populate the ground state of the system with minimal energy. Usually, the ground state is extended through the entire area o…

• ITMO Physicists Use Radiofrequency Trap to “Freeze” Nanocrystals

  …n particles, constantly in motion and colliding with each other. However, if their kinetic energy were to be lowered, along with their speed and temperature, they will enter a quantum state. Such an effect can be achieved using optical cooling. Physicists from ITMO University have studied the optical cooling of mesoscopic articles using ytterbium ions. Ions of thi…

• Scientists Achieve Breakthrough in Polariton Laser Technology

  …chanical state according to the so-called Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that two or more identical fermions (particles with half-integer spin) cannot occupy the same quantum state within a quantum system simultaneously. A polariton laser setup. Credit: bibo.kz In polariton lasers, this limitation is overcome in the following manner: electrons in suc…
