Heard about quantum technology? Now it’s time to understand it!
Quantum technology is among the biggest talking points on the web. And yet, the general feeling is that only experts can understand it. The Sparks! Forum at CERN aims to prove this wrong Like several other types of information technology developed in the recent past, quantum technology looks like a “strange new thing” with the

Bringing quantum computing to society
A new, three-year CERN-based programme will make quantum computing resources and technical expertise available to projects designed to support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The new programme is called the Open Quantum Institute (OQI). Hosted by CERN, the OQI has been designed by the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) in collaboration with some

High-Frequency Gravitational Wave Detection via Optical Frequency Modulation
High-frequency gravitational waves can be detected by observing the frequency modulation they impart on photons. In this paper, authors discuss fundamental limitations to this method related to the fact that it is impossible to construct a perfectly rigid detector. Several novel methods are proposed, to search for O(MHz-GHz) gravitational waves based on the frequency modulation

Highlights from the IT Innovation section in 2022
2022 saw the implementation of a new strategy and new structure for the CERN IT department. Under these, a new “Innovation” section has been created, bringing together CERN openlab, CERN Quantum Technology Initiative (CERN QTI) and several IT-focused EU projects and scouting activities, including collaborations with other research organisations. This recognises the vital need to
