Basic Science

History tells us that fundamental research can spark technological revolutions we could never have predicted. Researchers at CQT work not only towards developing specific applications of quantum technologies, but also to deepen humanity’s understanding of the behaviour of light, matter and the universe. We are interested in the known unknowns and the unknown unknowns.
