  • The Hub in Forskning.no
    Elise Kjørstad, journalist at Forskning.no, had obviously done her homework before visiting the hub last week. During the interview, both Sergiy and Sølve was made to think. Please read the interview here: https://www.forskning.no/hva-er-en-kvantedatamaskin/2353590
  • Family day, April 21st
    Sunday April 21st employees at the Oslo Metropolitan University had a very nice opportunity to give the rest of their families an impression of what goes on at their workplace. A lot of people, both young and old, found their way to Pilestredet 35 (P35), where they …
  • 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 …
  • Yet another flight with Bendiksen Airways
    It was a pleasure for us to welcome podcast host Alexander Bendiksen at our hub once again. Clearly, some of our quantum fascination has rubbed off on him! Please tune in to his new podcast episode here (in Norwegian): https://open.spotify.com/episode/2jazRXMbyzgrre5dJUEXXP?si=fa3028bf608b4c52&nd=1&dlsi=4abac97f7b834f72 And do check out the other interesting …
  • Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences gets a visit
    It was a true pleasure when the Hub was contacted by Arnstein Wee, from the Stavanger-branch of Norges tekniske vitenskapsakademi, the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences. He wanted to hear more about quantum computing. Of course, asking a quantum hubber whether she or he would like to …
  • Visit from Akademiet
    It was true pleasure to host the Agora class from Akademiet Bislet Wednesday March 6th. Fifteen eager and attentive learners found their way to our hub, where they heard about quantum theory and technology. And more importantly: The got to do it. They did so by solving …
  • Talk by V. Bakkestuen at the Center for Advanced Study
    During one of the events of NTNU Associate Professor Ida-Marie Høyvik’s YoungCAS fellowship, PhD student Vebjørn Bakkestuen delivered a presentation on his recent studies in quantum electrodynamics density-functional theory (QEDFT). His talk provided an overview of the mathematical formulation of density-functional theory and its application to the …
  • Girls & Tech
    We are really proud about having been a part of the Jenter og teknologi gathering held at Chateau Neuf February 15th. Maryam Kaviani, along with Kersti Fosse Blålid and Notto Thelle from the OsloMet Makerspace and people from the University of Oslo, made it all happen. About …
  • PhD Fellowship position in Visualization of Quantum Theory
    The Department of Computer Science has a vacant PhD Fellowship position within the field of visualization of quantum theory. The project is a novel and innovative research collaboration that combines technology and art and is a newly established collaboration between the Department of Computer Science and the Department …
  • Kvantefysikk for nyfikne
    Vi synest kvantefysikk og kvanteteknologi er alt for viktig og forunderleg til å vere ei greie for spesielt interesserte. Men mykje av det ein lærer om kvante-verda legg opp til å ha lag på lag med matematikk-kurs på førehand. Det ønsker vi å gjere noko med. Til …
  • Visit from the Danish embassy
    We were thrilled to be contacted by Anton Højris Middelhede at the Danish embassy in Oslo for a get-together while 2024 was still young. Together with Emilie Michaelsen and Øystein Sandvik we had a very interesting – and promising – exchange of thoughts and interesting opportunities. Øystein …
  • Exploring the Wonders of Quantum Mechanics: High School Visit to the Quantum Hub
