• Technopark Resident VISmart: Helping Machines Think Like Humans

  Semantic information processing technologies and semantic web software will soon allow search engines to think almost like humans. Among other things, they would be able to make logical connections between various bits of data and combine databases into unified information systems. Better yet, this related data will be visualized in a form comprehensible to a regular user. The company VISmart, a resident of ITMO University’s Technopark, is working on several projects in this field. Recently they were joined by a scientist from Austria whose research will help VISmart in improving their service that focuses on searching for and visualizing information using semantic technology.

• Created Chip Churns out High-Dimensional Entangled Photons

  International team of scientists led by Roberto Morandotti, professor at Canadian National Research Institute in Quebec and ITMO University in Saint Petersburg, Russia, has developed an optical chip able to generate, manipulate and transmit stable high-dimensional entangled photons. In the paper published in Nature, the researchers showed that this all is possible using conventional telecommunication components. The newborn particles support a hundred quantum states, that can be enhanced by two orders of magnitude in the future. As the team notes, the high-dimensional photons are linked more sustainably and thus increase stability of optical computing.
