A collaboration led by researchers from the Institute for Particle Physics and Astrophysics tested the first prototype of a new elementary particle detector for ultrafast, three-dimensional and high-resolution imaging in large and unsegmented scintillator volumes.

Researchers have demonstrated a new monolithic mode-locked semiconductor laser with a continuously and widely tunable repetition rate.

Researchers at ETH Zurich have realised particularly stable quantum logical operations with qubits made of neutral atoms. Since these operations, called quantum gates, are based on geometric phases they are extremely robust against experimental noise and can be used in quantum computers in the future.

In 16 disciplines, the university ranks among the 10 best in the world. In addition to Earth Sciences, it also achieves an outstanding ranking in Architecture, Civil and Structural Engineering, and Environmental Sciences. These are the latest results of the QS World University Rankings according to subject.

Researchers in the Institute for Quantum Electronics developed a new method, dubbed nonlinear reservoir engineering, to improve how to correct errors in quantum computations.

At its meeting on 4 and 5 March 2026 and upon application of Joël Mesot, President of ETH Zurich, the ETH Board appointed twelve professors.

ETH Zurich registered the foundation of more new companies than ever
before in 2025. For the first time, a distinction was made between
spin-offs and start-ups, with the latter benefiting from a new business
accelerator.

Ananya Amitabh is 21 and studying for a Master’s degree in quantum engineering at ETH Zurich. She is impressed by the diversity and top level of quantum research conducted here. In the video, she explains why she chose this path, how she strikes a balance between her studies, karate and music, and why she thinks more women should opt for technical degree programmes.
