CQT researchers find a clue to why nature may have picked quantum physics, in all its weird glory, as a sensible way to behave

Why is nature inherently fuzzy? CQT researchers make a strong argument to justify the quantum uncertainty principle in a paper just published in Nature Communications.

BENASQUE 2013: QUANTUM INFORMATION
We are pleased to inform you that following the successful editions
of Benasque 1998, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011, we are
organizing another workshop of the similar type in June 2013. This is to invite
you to apply using the electronic form that you can find on the
website specified below. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible
and not later than April 15th, 2013. The number of participants
at the Benasque Centre at any given time is limited to about 60. We
will do our best to accommodate most of the applicants, however, in
some cases we may be unable to find suitable time slots for all of
them, i.e. we cannot guarantee acceptance.
We do hope to see you in Benasque!

The possibility that strange quantum behaviour can be explained by 'hidden influences' is testable in a new way, thanks to work by researchers at the Centre for Quantum Technologies and their collaborators in Switzerland, Beligum and Spain. The proposed experiment could force us to make a choice between extremes to describe the behaviour of the Universe.

Anyone in #Singapore and want to see a quantum-inspired dance this weekend? CQTian Daniel Sahagun Sanchez is performing in the Strangeweather Movement Group that "takes a look at the theory of quantum entanglement, puts it on the backburner, and creates a series of movement scores that together make a dance". RSVP on the event's Facebook page.

Everyone here at the Centre for Quantum Technologies is very happy for Serge Haroche and Dave Wineland, winners of the 2012 #nobelprize in physics "for ground-breaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems". We're lucky to have Dave Wineland as a member of CQT's Scientific Advisory Board, and you can see him here talking to one of our ion trappers on a visit earlier this year...

Random numbers are in high demand — from securing financial transactions, to running casino games, to seeding scientific simulations — but creating genuinely random numbers is a tough problem. Stephanie Wehner at the Centre for Quantum Technologies and her collaborators have analysed a new approach to creating randomness, proposing for the first time quantum analogues of widely-studied 'classical randomness extractors'.

Quantum Shorts
The Centre for Quantum Technologies here in Singapore is inviting entries for Quantum Shorts 2012 - a competition to produce the best short film inspired by quantum physics. They're not looking for films that explain quantum theory: instead, they want to see how it makes you think about the world. Videos should be no longer than 3 minutes. There are prizes, and the top 10 entries will get shown on the New Scientist website. Go here for more information:
http://shorts.quantumlah.org/
