-<html><span class="first">T</span></html>he **Centre for Quantum Information and Communication** (QuIC) has been active in quantum information sciences since 2001, with research contributions ranging from fundamental physics questions, such as quantum measurement, quantum entanglement, or quantum nonlocality, to more information-flavored topics, such as quantum communication, quantum cryptography, or quantum algorithms. It has invented and contributed to the demonstration of the first continuous-variable (Gaussian) quantum cryptographic protocol, and has developed the first quantum adiabatic algorithm with a quantum speedup (quantum adiabatic search). It currently holds two patents, and has published numerous scientific papers, among which two in the journal //Nature//, one in //Nature Physics//, two in //Nature Photonics//, and two in //Nature Communications//.

+Recently, it also has contributed to establish the fundamental quantum limit on the transmission rate via Gaussian bosonic channels (the quantum extension of Shannon's most famous channel capacity formula), and has uncovered a quantum two-photon interference effect in the amplification of light, akin to the celebrated Hong-Ou-Mandel effect.
