Quantum Imaging Centre Opens at the Glasgow Science Centre

Based in Glasgow, QuantIC, the Quantum Imaging Centre, will commercialise cameras built with newly-developed quantum technology, with the potential to create affordable handheld video cameras capable of seeing areas of the spectrum only previously visible with large and expensive devices. More than 30 industry partners will help QuantIC’s imaging systems bring new benefits to the UK economy.

Multiprover Interactive Proof System Gains Power by Exploiting Quantum Entanglement

A big question for researchers in quantum computing is, where does quantum physics give us an advantage? CQT researcher Joe Fitzsimons and his collaborator Thomas Vidick from Caltech have added to the list. Specifically, they give an example of a “multiprover interactive proof system" that gains power by exploiting quantum entanglement.

ESO's MUSE Instrument Provides Astronomers Best Ever 3D View of Deep Universe

The MUSE instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope has given astronomers the best ever three-dimensional view of the deep Universe. After staring at the Hubble Deep Field South region for only 27 hours, the new observations reveal the distances, motions and other properties of far more galaxies than ever before in this tiny piece of the sky. They also go beyond Hubble and reveal previously invisible objects.
