For more than nine years, Anton Zeilinger conducted research at the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck. He received this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics for his research on quantum teleportation. But that wasn’t the only reason the “Krone” found its way onto the tech campus.
Time and time again, the physicists who research and teach there make headlines. Most recently, especially in the development of quantum computers. Professors Rudolf Grimm and Roland Wester welcome you to the fourth floor of the Viktor-Franz-Hess-Haus, named after Viktor Franz Hess, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1936 and initiated a measuring station on the Hafelekar to observe cosmic rays “Tiroler Krone” editor Manuel Schwaiger.
Grimm focuses on supercold quantum matter, while Wester studies the interaction between molecules and electrically charged atomic particles, so-called ions.
From GPS systems to the quantum internet
Sounds complicated? Of course also for a layman. But the two physicists make an effort to explain in an understandable way what they are doing and where they may get more headlines in the future.
