The annual ICT-open congress, held in Amersfoort on March 21 and 22, had a strong show of the subject of Quantum Computing. Barbara Terhal (RWTH Aachen University) gave a plenary lecture, which was largely devoted to quantum error correction. This was followed by a special Quantum Computing session, chaired by... read more →

On 25 november 2016 the first edition of the symposium 'Quantum Software in the Netherlands' was held at QuSoft. The symposium showed a sample of current research on Quantum Software in academia as well as industry. Some of the speakers of the symposium "Quantum Software in the Netherlands" made their slides available... read more →

For secure communication of classified information, researchers want to deploy the sender’s location, so a receiver can be sure that a message is, for instance, really coming from the White House. Classic location-based methods are shown to be unsafe but location-based quantum cryptography seemed to have a chance. In 2014... read more →
