Quantum for real

The Helen Diller Quantum Center is the Technion’s center for Quantum Science and Technology. It is a physical and virtual home for this tradition of excellence in Quantum Science, that is built on the legacy of Nathan Rosen, who worked with Einstein on entangled wave motions and the EPR paradox, and Asher Peres, a pioneer of Quantum Teleportation.

The center serves as a resource to over 50 faculty members and more than 200 graduate students, postdocs and scientists contemplating a range of Quantum fields including: Quantum Computing, Quantum Communication, Quantum Simulations, Quantum Sensors and Quantum Matter. It houses world class laboratories in Photonics, Nonlinear optics, Quantum dots, Superconducting qubits and Cold atoms. Six faculties of science and engineering are involved in the center: Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Chemistry, Materials Science and Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering.

The Center also supports research, upgrades of laboratories and infrastructure centers, the recruitment of new faculty members, sponsorship of graduates and postdoc fellowships, the Peres-Rosen Distinguished Lecture Series, and seminars, workshops, and schools. It also promotes education with teaching laboratories in Quantum science and technology.

REALITY IS MERELY AN ILLUSION, ALBEIT A VERY PERSISTENT ONE.
– Technion founding father Prof. Albert Einstein

100 years ago in 1921, the young Prof. Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, “for his services to Theoretical Physics, and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.” A few years later in 1923, the scientist visited Technion where he planted a tree of vision – a vision whose fruits would endlessly multiply, from Einstein to Technion Prof. Nathan Rosen, from Rosen to Technion Prof. Asher Peres, from Peres to generations of Technion students who have the skills, expertise, and courage to truly dive into the mysterious and powerful undercurrents of quantum reality.
