The first two announcements for the NorQSoft/OsloMet PhD positions are now out: One position in quantum computing, optimization on noisy gate-based NISQ platforms One position in analogue quantum computing Also the latter has a focus on noisy, imperfect quantum computers. If this seems interesting to you, and …
We have just wrapped up three busy days of talks and discussions. The QOpen WG2–WG3 workshop, “Open Quantum Matter: Characterization and Control”, ran from 7 to 9 October 2026. It was an event with plenty of questions, exchanges at the whiteboard, and a lot of brainstorming. The …
We applied with the project “Resource-Efficient Local-to-Global Quantum Tomography” to the EuroHPC Quantum Access Pilot Call. The application was supported, and we now have a LOT of QPU time for running experiments on the cloud-accessible 24-qubit quantum computer located in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
Research Council of Norway has just approved the new eX-C3 SLICES infrastructure project, which will substantially extend Simula’s existing eX3 experimental computing cluster. OsloMet is a partner in the application, together with Simula, NTNU, UiO, UiB, UiS, SINTEF, Sigma2 and NORA. Importantly for us, eX-C3 will also …
We are getting ready to welcome colleagues to the OsloMet Quantum Hub for “Open Quantum Matter: Characterization and Control”, a focused QOpen WG2–WG3 workshop on 7–9 October 2026. We expect 20 invited speakers (25–30 participants altogether, including local colleagues). Speakers will come from institutions in Ukraine, Poland, …
OsloMet has become part of the broader Nordic Quantum Alliance through its membership in the Norwegian Quantum Cluster. The Alliance was launched at IQT Nordics 2026 and brings together the main quantum ecosystems of Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden to strengthen collaboration between research, industry, investors and …
OsloMet and it s Quantum Hub were the main organizer of the event. It was a three-day international forum held at OsloMet on June 22–24, 2006 bringing together more than 300 participants, 72 speakers from 22 countries, and 40 sponsors and exhibitors. Under the theme “Quantum Technology …
May 21st we had the pleasure of meeting with Neda Maria Kaizumi. We thank Peyman for connecting us. Neda has several successful ventures to look back on. And the next one is of particular interest to us: To establish an online, world-wide quantum academy. Neda has seen …
Interessen har på tampen av søknadsfristen vært enorm for det relativt nye emnet NYFIK1000 – Introduksjon til kvanteverdenen for nyfikne. Rekordmange har søkt seg til emnet, som på et grunnleggende nivå utforsker hvordan teknologien fungerer og hvordan fremtiden kan formes av den. Emnet krever ingen kompliserte forkunnskaper …
We are inviting all interested and curious about Quantum Information Technologies to the upcoming event, IQT Nordics: Quantum Technology in a Changing World, 4th all-Nordic annual meeting co-organized by the QH together with Simula and 3DHoldings. Do not hesitate to sign up; the seats are assigned acording …
We hosted Pedro Ribeiro (University of Lisbon) and Lucas Sá (University of Cambridge) in late January and early February. As always, their visit gave a strong boost to our research activities in quantum computing. Three of our PhD students (see photo) took part in near-daily discussions in …
Kvantefysikk er for mange helt fjernt, men da VGS-elever besøkte OsloMet fikk de en aha-opplevelse om hvordan matematikk og naturfag egentlig er to sider av samme sak. Elevene Maria Cabares Christiansen (16) og Ebba Lucy Wesselund (16) er to av elevene fra Edvard Munch videregående som nylig …
Yesteday, December 17th, the government announced which four out the 12 proposed centres for quantum technologica research gets funded. Read more about it here: https://www.regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/noreg-far-fire-nye-forskingssenter-for-kvanteteknologi/id3143328/ Simula did extremely well – securing no less than two centres. We at OsloMet are fortunate enough to be partners in one …
We’ve just concluded the workshop “Entangled Visions: Exploring Quantum Visualizations in Culture, Dissemination, and the Arts,” which we consider the zenith of QH activity this year. As parts of the workshop, we had an exhibition and two (actually, 2.5, since one of the invited speakers, Krystyna Gnatenko, …
OsloMet’s two-qubit quantum computer, acquired in 2021 (the first quantum computer in Norway!), has found a new home at the Norsk Teknisk Museum (Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology). It was moved there on 25 November and is now part of the museum’s exhibition on the history …
Å simulere kvantefysikk er så datakrevende at det i teorien krever en uendelig stor maskin. Doktorgradsstipendiat Bendik Steinsvåg Dalen (27) jobber med en løsning. Vi møter Bendik på stipendiatkontoret hans. Her er han snart ferdig med doktorgraden sin, hvor han har tatt et dypdykk i kvantefysikkens verden …
Wednesday October 29th our hub had a very pleasant and informative visit of people from IQM. This company has delivered comparatively large superconducting quantum computers such as the Helmi in Helsinki and the VLQ in the Czech republic. The Quantum Hub preresentatives, i.e., Sergiy and Sølve in …
For several years we have offered a 10 credit project course to our IT bachelor students. A rich plethora of topics and scientific and professional directions are eligible. This year, however, we offer – for the first time – projects on quantum technology. We are thrilled to …
Quantum Hub just wrapped a three-day study trip to the Netherlands’ quantum hotspots for ACIT students, PhD candidates, and faculty colleagues. We kicked off in Amsterdam at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences with a welcome and an overview of the Dutch quantum ecosystem, followed by a …
On Friday, September 19, school kids gathered at Deichman Holmlia where OsloMet’s Quantum Hub organized a research square — for the third year in a row. Our Master’s and doctoral students invited their younger colleagues into the world of quantum physics. With simple examples intended to spark …
