New article published in Nature Communications

Cryptographic protocols are the backbone of our information society. In this work, we implement such a protocol which allows two parties Alice and Bob to compute a function together so that even if Alice tries to cheat by deviating from the protocol, she cannot learn Bob's inputs and vice versa.... read more →

Projectruimte grant for Rene Gerritsma

QuSoft congratulates Rene Gerritsma, affiliate researcher of QuSoft, for receiving an NWO Physics Projectruimte grant for his research of trapped ions in optical micro-traps. Trapped ions rank among the best quantum computers to date, but scaling them up to a large number of quantum bits turns out to be hard.... read more →
