Superconducting quantum circuits are currently one of the most promising platforms for realizing a large-scale quantum computer capable of solving complex tasks that are unsolvable by classical computers. The operation of a superconducting quantum computer relies on microwave control of superconducting qubits, the basic unit of information, via multiple cables […]
The missing mass problem arose in the 20th century when observations of the dynamics of astrophysical objects could not be explained by ordinary luminous matter. This suggested the existence of some non-luminous excess mass, plentiful in the observable universe. Inspired by the non-luminous nature of this strange new substance, the […]
I first joined the Board of the Finnish Physical Society at the Annual General Meeting in March of 2020 in Helsinki as the Secretary. Two years later I was fortunate to be elected as the Vice President to President Matti Silveri during the online Physics Days from Aalto. Then in […]
The Finnish Physical Society is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the Korean Physical Society. Until now, our international relationships have primarily been inside Europe, facilitated via the European Physical Society. Now, for the first time, a partnership has been established beyond Europe.

Each year the Finnish Physical Society awards four early-career presentation prizes at Physics Days. The two best oral and the two best poster presentations receive a certificate and a prize of €200. This year, the two oral presentation awardees also received professional grade Mathematica licences for one year, kindly provided […]
The 2023 Master’s Thesis Prize of the Finnish Physical Society has been awarded to Tiina Minkkinen of the University of Helsinki, and was officially presented in the opening ceremony of Physics Days 2024. This award is given annually for an exceptional Master’s thesis in the field of physical sciences. It […]
Master Thesis Prize 2023 – Winner Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime caused by accelerating masses, such as rotating neutron stars or black holes orbiting each other. Predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity, they were first observed in 2015 by the LIGO collaboration in the United States using a […]
