New mass spec­trom­e­ter for biomolec­u­lar research

Researchers at the Department of Organic Chemistry and the Center for Molecular Biosciences (CMBI), led by Kathrin Breuker, have been awarded funding for a state-of-the-art mass spectrometer in a competitive FFG infrastructure call. The instrument will open up new possibilities for biomolecular research at the University of Innsbruck.

Cal­cu­lat­ing error-free more eas­ily with two codes

Various methods are used to correct errors in quantum computers. Not all operations can be implemented equally well with different correction codes. Therefore, a research team from the University of Innsbruck, together with a team from RWTH Aachen and Forschungszentrum Jülich, has developed a method and implemented it experimentally for the first time, with which a quantum computer can switch back and forth between two correction codes and thus perform all computing operations protected against errors.
