Rupert Ursin

Rupert Ursin (born January 26, 1973 in Salzburg ) is an Austrian physicist and deputy director and research group leader at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences .

Life

While studying experimental physics , which began in 1993 , Ursin held several scientific research positions, including a. at CERN . In 2001 he submitted his master's thesis. In December 2006, he completed his dissertation at the University of Vienna with the title “Quantum teleportation over long distances”. After a position as Univ. Ass. At the Faculty of Physics at the University of Vienna. Since 2007 he has been employed as a PostDoc and since 2013 as a research group leader at the IQOQI .

Act

In 2004 Rupert Ursin, together with some colleagues from the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Vienna, succeeded in quantum teleporting a photon outside of the laboratory for the first time . They bridged a distance of 600 m over the Danube. In 2007 he succeeded in distributing entangled photons between the Canary Islands La Palma and Tenerife over a distance of 144 km in cooperation with the European Space Agency ESA . Other partners were the universities of Munich, Bristol and Padua.
