Quantum information science and technology has emerged as a new interdisciplinary paradigm for ocmputation and communication in both theory and experiment for the 21st century. It is based on the inherent wave-like nature of matter and light and our increasing ability to fabricate, control, measure and understand advanced structures. Quantum systems are steadily becoming more complex, and a fantastic web of correlations forms in such systems, leading to dramatic speed-up in computation and secure communication.

Rising to this challenge, The Hebrew University has recruited an impressive cadre of over 20 researchers, dedicated to various aspects of quantum information science, to create the Quantum Information Science Center (QISC). The research covered by this cutting-edge team includes topics in Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Chemistry, Philosophy and Engineering. We believe that the only way to make ground-breaking advances in complex real world implementation and understanding is the cross-fertilization between different fields and languages of science. Qstart celebrates the opening of QISC at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
