Welcome, Giorgio! Giorgio is a master student from the University of Pisa. For his Master's thesis he will be designing and developing a new addressing setup for long strings with up to 100 ions in the quantum simulation experiment at IQOQI.

Welcome, Michi! Michi is a master student at the University of Innsbruck and will support the cryo team as part of his master thesis. He will focus on the integration of optical components into our next generation of surface ion traps. As part of his master thesis, Michi will develop and construct an experimental setup to test and qualify the manufactured photonic components.

Congratulations, Leni!

Thesis Titled: Quantum correlations of large planar ion crystals in a novel monolithic radiofrequency trap

Welcome, Michael! He studied theoretical physics at the University of Bologna and is currently a PhD student in the Cryo team, where  he is involved in the Millenion project, which is dedicated to advancing trapped-ion quantum computers and transitioning them from lab prototypes to scalable, industry-grade quantum technologies.

Welcome Nele! Nele is a master’s student from Heidelberg who joined the 2D crystals team for her master’s project. She will investigate the realization of entangling operations with a 532nm laser.

Welcome, Eric! Eric received his M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Calgary in Canada, studying segmentation/classification algorithms for Polarimetric Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolInSAR). He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Toronto, with his doctoral thesis focusing on the development of a framework for optimal control of quantum noiseless subsystems. Eric has joined the CryoTrap team in Innsbruck looking to study control/optimization problems in ion shuttling for 2D arrays of ion traps.
