Vienna Quantum Cafe

The IQOQI Blog

Vienna Quantum Café is the science blog of IQOQI-Vienna. The name refers to the culture of Viennese coffeehouses, also recognized as "Intangible Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO, as places of informal cultural exchange and discussion where new ideas emerge. The blog focuses on two areas: research ethics, including for instance current discussions on issues of scientific publishing, science management or science communication, and discussions communicating the significance and potential of foundational research in quantum physics and quantum information.
