Congratulations, Christine!

Thesis Title: A quantum simulator with long strings of trapped ions

Welcome Yannick Weiser

Published: Wednesday, 24 March 2021

We welcome Yannick to the Barium experiment! He studied physics at Erlangen and worked during his Master's thesis on a Quantum Communication platform based on coherent CV-QKD. Here in Innsbruck, his Ph.D. project will focus on fundamental Quantum Optics to study the interaction between a trapped ion and the single photons emitted by the ion in the presence of a hemispherical mirror.

Welcome Simon Garbin

Simon joined the group for his Master project where he will work on phase-modulated entangling gates for the AQTION setup. These promise to make entangling gates more robust to errors associated to fluctuating laser frequency and amplitude.

Welcome Armin Winkler

Welcome Stefan Walser

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.
