News & Stories aus dem PSI
Chirurgie für Qubits
Forschende zeigen, wie Quantenoperationen unter gleichzeitiger Fehlerkorrektur durchgeführt werden können – ein wichtiger Schritt hin zu zuverlässigen Quantencomputern.
Eintausend Module für das CERN
Am CERN bei Genf werden kleinste Teilchen mit höchsten Energien aufeinander geschossen, um die grossen Fragen zum Universum zu klären. Die Detektoren, die die Teilchenkollisionen beobachten, benötigen immer wieder ein Upgrade. Lea Caminada und ihre Forschungsgruppe für Hochenergiephysik am PSI spielen dabei eine wichtige Rolle.
Myonen erhalten Förderung des Schweizerischen Nationalfonds
Das PSI erhält einen NCCR: Mit dem Projekt «Muoniverse» wird die Forschung an den Strahllinien für Elementarteilchen namens Myonen weiter ausgebaut – an der weltweit führenden Anlage für Myonenstrahlen.
«Wir ziehen alle Register»
Das PSI steigert die Intensität seiner Myonenstrahlen um das Hundertfache. Das bietet völlig neue Möglichkeiten für Physik und Materialforschung.
