Welcome Tim! Tim completed his Bachelor's degree at the TU München, and his Master's degree jointly at TU München and LMU München. He conducted his Bachelor's thesis on the optical characterization of defect emitters in monolayer molybdenum disulfide in the Group of Prof. Holleitner. He then moved into the field of solid-state quantum systems for his Master's thesis with Prof. Brandt, working towards entanglement of electronic and nuclear spins in nitrogen-vacancy center ensembles in diamond. Tim has now joined the QCosmo Group where he will work on ultrafast spectroscopy and the new cryogenic trap for molecules.

The study of elementary particles and forces is of central importance to our understanding of the universe. Now a team of physicists from the University of Innsbruck and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo show how an unconventional type of quantum computer opens a new door to the world of elementary particles.

Welcome Lorenzo! Lorenzo is a master's student from the university of Padua and is joining the the Cryo team for his master's project. He will work on designing modular trap blocks for surface traps that can be used to simplify trap design and make it more flexible. This involves simulating trapping potentials to optimize the electrode geometries and investigate the usability of the trap blocks for different experimental setups.
