Tel Aviv University scientists have developed unique spatiotemporal imaging technology to capture the movement of excitons (tiny Quantum particles). They now hope to discover ways of manipulating and storing light for use in communications and photonics-based quantum computers. http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/New_technology_captures_movement_of_quantum_particles_with_unprecedented_resolution_999.html http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/5/2/eaat9618

I reported previously (see here) on Israeli research into Quantum computing. The Israeli government is now investing NIS 100 million in a research fund focused on quantum computing, which potentially can solve problems that current technology cannot. https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Israel-joins-the-race-to-become-a-quantum-superpower-574510

I reported previously (Jun 2016) on the Israel Technion’s opening of the Center for Quantum Science. Now the Helen Diller Family Foundation has donated $50 million to recruit staff, establish new infrastructure and fund research and development. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/244552

I reported previously (Aug 2013) that the Hebrew University of Jerusalem had founded the Quantum Information Science Center. The center has just won a NIS 7.5 million Israel Government tender to lead the construction of a national demonstrator for quantum … Continue reading →

Israel’s Bar-Ilan University has opened its new center, the Quantum Entanglement in Science and Technology (QUEST) for research and development of quantum technology. Its applications include secure quantum networks, cryptography, quantum computation and biomedical sensors. http://www.timesofisrael.com/bar-ilan-university-to-set-up-quantum-research-center/

Researchers from Israel’s Technion working in quantum computing, have built a device that can produce large clusters of entangled photons (light particles) on demand. It is a major step to developing quantum super-computers and fast super secure Internet communications. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/quantum-computing-breakthrough-israeli-scientists-152801708.html

Israel’s Technion Institute has opened the Center for Quantum Science, Matter and Engineering.  It will focus on merging fundamental concepts of quantum science with engineering principles in order to pave the way towards new devices and systems for communications, computing, … Continue reading →

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has founded the Quantum Information Science Center to advance computing and communication technologies. http://new.huji.ac.il/en/article/17847

Israel signed a memorandum of understanding with the UK for “faster and deeper collaboration” on science, innovation, and technology. It includes £1.7million in support to research focused on technologies critical to future prosperity and quality of life, like quantum. https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/uk-signs-deal-with-israel-to-collaborate-on-science-innovation-and-technology/ … Continue reading →
