Austrian physicist, pioneer of quantum information and quantum optics. He designed and carried out key experiments on quantum teleportation, multi-particle entanglement, and Bell inequality tests with all local loopholes closed. Winner of the Nobel Prize in 2022.

Biography

Born in Ried (Austria). He earned his doctorate at the University of Vienna. Professor at the University of Innsbruck and the University of Vienna. President of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. He led the group that achieved the first quantum teleportation of an independent qubit and entanglement distribution between the Canary Islands.

Key discoveries

💡 In one experiment, his team teleported photon states between the islands of La Palma and Tenerife over a distance of 143 km.

Light Makes Two Magnetic Strings Sing in Unison

Inside a mirror trap, light binds two magnetic nanoscale strings into a single quantum object. The pressure of light synchronizes their vibrations, creating entanglement that doesn't break even at a surprisingly high temperature — a few thousandths of a degree above absolute zero. This is an order o
