The host galaxy of a powerful galactic nucleus revealed using the CIRCE camera on the Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC). This discovery, in which the IAC participated, has reopened the debate about the galaxies which contain these nuclei.
El vicepresidente de la Academia de Ciencias de China (CAS), En-Ge Wang, y una delegación científica del NAOC (National Astronomical Observatories de la CAS), encabezada por su director, Gang Zhao, visitaron el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) y los Observatorios del Teide, en Izaña (Tenerife), y del Roque de los Muchachos, en Garafía (La Palma). Esta visita ha contribuido a impulsar, tal y como recogía uno de los puntos del memorandum firmado entre el IAC y el NAOC en mayo de 2016, la colaboración en el desarrollo de instrumentación científica para el Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC

The Spanish Physicist, winner of the Principe de Asturias Prize, gave a lecture at the Institute about the so-called “second quantum revolution” and its applications in cryptography and computation.
“With a quantum computer we will be able to solve problems which are imposible with present day supercomputers” “For our day to day transactions by internet (purchases, private messages etc) we code the information using mult-digit keys which ensures that no current computer can decipher them” “The experiments with quantum entanglement carried out at the IAC’s Observatories, between telescopes on Tenerife and La Palma will help us to develop technologies based on entanglement and quantum teletransportation”. By Hector Socas (IAC) The discovery of quantum physics gave rise to one of the most
