Welcome Stefan Walser

Details: Published: Friday, 22 January 2021

Stefan did his PhD at the TU Vienna in the group of Arno Rauschenbeutel. There he worked on a project showing theoretically end experimentally that the polarization state of light emitted by subwavelength emitters can give rise to a fundamental error in position measurements of the emitters. This work was published together with our former group members Gabriel, Daniel and Yves.

He is now joining the ERC project QCosmo from Philipp Schindler where he will apply quantum computing techniques to investigate polyatomic molecular ions.

Error protected quantum bits entangled

Details: Published: Tuesday, 19 January 2021

For the first time, physicists from the University of Innsbruck have entangled two quantum bits distributed over several quantum objects and successfully transmitted their quantum properties. This marks an important milestone in the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers. The researchers published their report in Nature.

Panopticon: a new ion trap for quantum optics

Details: Published: Monday, 23 November 2020

The new experiment will allow the scientists at the University of Innsbruck to explore new quantum electrodynamics effects by locating a single ion in front of a hemispherical mirror (Scilight article)
