Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information

The '''Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI)''' ({{lang-de|Institut für Quantenoptik und Quanteninformation}}) is an child institute of the [[Austrian Academy of Sciences]] and was founded in November 2003. The institute, with sites in [[Innsbruck]] and [[Vienna]], is dedicated to fundamental research in [[quantum optics]] and [[quantum information]], both theoretical and experimental. The research institute has around 100 employees and consists of a section in Innsbruck, with four working groups led by [[Rainer Blatt]], [[Hans Briegel]], [[Rudolf Grimm]] and [[Peter Zoller]], and a section in Vienna under the leadership of [[Anton Zeilinger]]. The institute is an independent research center with strong links to the [[University of Innsbruck]] and the [[University of Vienna]]. Thereby a close exchange of students and postdocs is established and the members of the institute can be integrated in teaching at the universities. ==Research groups== *Quantum optics and spectroscopy ([[Rainer Blatt]]) *Quantum information (Hans Briegel) *Ultra cold atoms and quantum gases ([[Rudolf Grimm]]) *Quantum optics ([[Anton Zeilinger]]) *Quantum optics and quantum information ([[Peter Zoller]]) ==External links== * [http://www.iqoqi.at Homepage of the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI)] * [http://www.oeaw.ac.at Homepage of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW))] {{coord missing|Austria}}
