Entanglement is a central phenomenon of quantum mechanics. It enables two photons to be connected with each other regardless of distance, and it is the basis of the immense potential of quantum technologies. However, the continuing development of qua
In September 2020, researchers at Aalto University and VTT revealed that they had developed a high-speed nano-scale radiation detector a bolometer fast enough to read the qubits in a quantum computer.Now, Professor Mikko Möttönen’s team and their par

Three of Finland’s top research institutions –Aalto University, The University of Helsinki and VTT Technical Research Centre - are to pool their expertise and resources in research, education and innovation on quantum science and technology, under the umbrella of InstituteQ: The Finnish Quantum Institute.
“Our goals are threefold,” said Jukka Pekola, professor at Aalto University. “Firstly, to coordinate our national research efforts; secondly, to provide the best possible education, both in graduate and industrial programmes; and thirdly, in driving innovation.”
“We want the institute to guide the development of current infrastructure and have a role in generating new pathways and projects for quantum technologies. We are looking forward to growing the institute to include more partners, collaborators and stakeholders from across research and industry in Finland.”

Aalto University, University of Helsinki and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have signed an agreement to collaborate on quantum science and technology, under the umbrella of InstituteQ: The Finnish Quantum Institute. InstituteQ brings together expertise in research, education, and innovation to drive Finland s world-leading quantum technology research. Our goals are threefold, explains Professor Jukka Pekola, Aalto University, firstly, to coordinate our national research efforts; secondly, to provide the best possible education, both in graduate and industrial programs; and thirdly, in driving innovation. It is widely recognised that the expertise level in the workforce is currently a major bottleneck in developing quantum technology, explains Professor Sabrina Maniscalco, University of Helsinki, By combining and coordinating our resources, we will be able to grow expertise in new directions.
