The Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) (German: Institut für Quantenoptik und Quanteninformation) is a member institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and was founded in November 2003, to create an Austrian research center for the newly developing fields of theoretical and experimental quantum optics and quantum information.
It has two independent sites -- Innsbruck and Vienna -- with around 80 employees each. The institute is dedicated to fundamental research in quantum optics, quantum information, quantum foundations, and quantum communication, both theoretical and experimental.
The Innsbruck site has seven research teams led by Rainer Blatt, Francesca Ferlaino, Rudolf Grimm, Gerhard Kirchmair, Hannes Pichler, Oriol Romero-Isart and Peter Zoller. The Vienna site has seven teams, led by Markus Aspelmeyer, Časlav Brukner, Marcus Huber, Markus Müller, Miguel Navascues, Rupert Ursin, and Anton Zeilinger, as well as the recently established YIRGs (Young Independent Researcher Groups), led by Ämin Baumeler, Costantino Budroni, and Yelena Guryanova.[1]
The two sites are independent research centers with strong links to the University of Innsbruck and the University of Vienna. Thereby a close exchange of students and postdocs is established, and the members of the institute can be integrated into teaching at the universities.
