The Centre for Quantum Information and Communication (QuIC) has been active in quantum information sciences for about ten years, with research contributions ranging from fundamental questions such as quantum measurement, quantum entanglement, or quantum nonlocality to more information-flavored issues such as quantum cloning, quantum cryptography, or quantum algorithms. It has contributed to the invention and demonstration of the first continuous-variable quantum cryptographic protocol. More recently, it has started an experimental quantum information activity together with the ULB optics laboratory. It currently holds two patents, and has published numerous scientific papers among which two in the journal Nature.
