  • Arendal: Quantum of interest
    The Arendal week has long since passed. And, in terms of technology, the winner of the battle for attention was quite undisputed: AI. There were, however, some events dedicated to emerging quantum technologies too. Two, to be specific. While few, less than 1 per mille of the …
  • The QHub in Arendal
    To anyone in who happen to be in Arendal Tuesday August 13th: Please join the quantum session at 14.00! We are happy to see GlobalConnect raising the issue of the Norwegain participation in the quantum race, or, rather, the lack of such. They have put together very …
  • Cool workshop
    From 9th to 12th of June, we had the pleasure of hosting a little workshop on atoms and lasers – and a couple of other things too. This was put together in connection with a visit from our esteemed colleges from Warsaw University, prof. Katarzyna Krajewska (picture), …

  • Commuting in a noncommutative space
    Bridging quantum theory and gravitation is a great and mind-thrilling challenge. Non-commutative geometry is considered to be a candidate for such a bridge. This mathematical concept integrates quantum principles like the non-commutativity of operators into the fabric of spacetime. We gained insights into this fascinating topic last …
  • Quantum Adjustments
    Until recently we were not aware about ongoing quantum initiatives at the Norwegian Metrology Service (Justervesenet – JV). But then we got a pleasent e-mail from Susmit Kumar from JV’s Electricity group informing us about their mandate regarding accurate SI values of voltage, resistance, and current. During …
