CWI launches the Constance van Eeden PhD Fellowship with two videos and through social media (Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram). CWI offers a special PhD position to a talented young female student in mathematics, computer science or a related field, e.g. chemistry, biology, ICT physics or econometrics.
The Quantum Software Consortium is building a new research community in the Netherlands in Quantum Information Science. But what is Quantum Information Science? You perhaps heard of the quantum computer.
A computer that fundamentally uses different physics laws than a classical computer does. But like a classical computer, also a quantum computer uses software - quantum software !
Sebastian de Bone (QuTech, TU Delft) and Julius de Hond (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) created a website to give students and the general public an idea of how quantum key distribution works, and what it would be like to communicate through a quantum-encrypted channel. As an end user, you don't notice much, of course!
Sophie Hermans successfully defended her PhD thesis "Quantum Networks using Spins in Diamond" at Delft University of Technology on April 14, 2022. Ronald Hanson (QuTech, TU Delft) and Stephanie Wehner (QuTech, TU Delft) acted as promotors. The degree was awarded "cum laude".
De belangrijkste bouwstenen van de futuristische quantumcomputer zijn voor het eerst gemaakt in een fabriek voor ‘gewone’ computerchips. Daarmee zet deze toekomstcomputer een belangrijke stap naar de praktijk.

It was with enthusiasm that I landed in Delft on a day of fine rain on November 1, 2021, thus marking the start of my internship at QuTech/TU Delft.
Op 16 januari 2022 is onze zeer gewaardeerde en geliefde collega prof. dr. Bas Edixhoven (Universiteit Leiden, Mathematisch Instituut) na een korte periode van ernstige ziekte overleden.
Stacey Jeffery, senior researcher at CWI and QuSoft in Amsterdam, is awarded an ERC Starting Grant of 1.5 million euro for research on Algorithms, Security and Complexity for Quantum Computers (ASC-Q). The grant helps ambitious younger researchers launch their own projects, form their teams and pursue their best ideas.
After much anticipation, I finally arrived in Amsterdam on September 15, 2021 for my research master project at QuSoft/CWI. My project was very exciting.
