 This week in IBM Research History in 1956, the doors to the first European IBM Research Lab officially opened in Zurich, Switzerland. Over the past 67 years, award-winning scientists from this lab have made significant contributions, not only to leading IBM products and systems, but also scientific progress and international standards. In 1986, two scientists from the Zurich Lab received the Nobel Prize in Physics for creating the scanning tunneling microscope. And a year later, another Nobel Prize is given for the invention of high-temperature superconductivity. Today, the Zurich Lab continues to be a hub of innovation in Europe, driving cutting-edge research in areas such as nanotechnology, quantum-safe cryptography, and artificial intelligence.
