We’re excited to share that our group is featured in the ORF Tirol documentary “The Future Begins Now – Innsbruck at the Center of Quantum Research” (in German), part of the Österreich-Bild series.

In the documentary, Éric Berdaguer explores how Innsbruck became a world-leading hub for quantum research. The story begins in the 1990s, when Anton Zeilinger—later awarded the Nobel Prize—laid the groundwork for quantum science in Tirol and helped put Innsbruck on the map. The film then shifts to the present, highlighting today’s cutting-edge research, including a visit to our labs and interviews with Francesca and other members of our group.

Goodbye to Pramodh Senarath Yapa

by

We say goodbye to our theory Post-Doc Pramodh Senarath Yapa! Pramodh joined the Theory Team back in November 2023 from the University of Alberta, where he completed his PhD in Condensed Matter Theory. Together with our former Post-Doc Tom Bland, Pramodh investigated the question “How solid is a dipolar supersolid?”, and remarkably, found supersonic shear waves in honeycomb dipolar supersolids. We wish you all the best for your future, Pramodh – it was a pleasure having you here with us!

Review of quantum simulations of non-standard Bose-Hubbard models

by

The article “Recent progress on quantum simulations of non-standard Bose-Hubbard models” by Priv. Doz. Dr. Manfred Mark and collaborators has been accepted to Reports on Progress in Physics! The field of quantum simulation of Hubbard models has been growing extensively in the past decade. Here, we focus specifically on non-standard Bose-Hubbard models and discuss the progress made in both, the theoretical description and understanding as well as in the first experimental realizations.
