Testing Quantum Technologies

Scientists from Freie Universität, University of Innsbruck, University of Cologne, and University of Sydney Developed New Method. ' 123/2017 from May 17, 2017 Together with colleagues from Germany, Austria, and Australia, scientists from Freie Universität Berlin developed a new method for investigating quantum mechanical processes, and they tested their method experimentally. To do so, they transferred methods from so-called compressed sensing to quantum mechanics. The findings were obtained together with the University of Innsbruck in Austria, the University of Cologne, and the University of Sydney in Australia. They were published in the highly regarded science . "Every technology requires methods and protocols that check its functionality," explains Dr. Jens Eisert, a professor of quantum physics at Freie Universität Berlin. Complicated devices can only work reliably, if it can be guaranteed that the components work together properly.
