Quantum teleportation on a chip - Nature Photonics Paper1 April 2015The core circuits of quantum teleportation, which generate and detect quantum entanglement, have been successfully integrated into a photonic chip by an international team of scientists from the universities of Bristol, Tokyo, Southampton and NTT Device Technology Laboratories. These results pave the way to developing ultra-high-speed quantum computers and strengthening the security of communication.

Bristol Quantum Information Technologies Workshop 201525 February 2015The Centre for Quantum Photonics is pleased to announce the return of the Bristol Quantum Information Technologies Workshop from the 15th - 17th April 2015.
I'm a scientist, get me out of here! Physics PhD student wins the Big Data zone6 February 2015Stefan Lines, a PhD student working with Dr Zoe Leinhardt, recently won the Big Data zone of the I'm a Scientist event, in which Key stage 2 to Key stage 5 school students put questions to scientists. The prize money will buy a Raspberry Pi for two of the schools involved, who will use it to monitor the weather.
