According to quantum mechanics, a physical system can be in any linear superposition of its
possible states. Although the validity of this principle is routinely validated for microscopic …

We report the creation of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states with up to 14 qubits. By
investigating the coherence of up to 8 ions over time, we observe a decay proportional to the …

We summarize important recent advances in quantum metrology, in connection to
experiments in cold gases, trapped cold atoms and photons. First we review simple …

Multiphoton interference reveals strictly nonclassical phenomena. Its applications range
from fundamental tests of quantum mechanics to photonic quantum information processing …

Quantum entanglement, plays a vital role in many quantum-information and communication
tasks. Entangled states of higher-dimensional systems are of great interest owing to the …

Quantum communication brings radically new capabilities that are provably impossible to
attain in any classical network. Here, we take the first step from a physics experiment to a …
