Congratulations, Elyas!

Thesis Titled: Frequency comb Raman spectroscopy for quantum logic

Welcome Phoebe! Phoebe completed her Bachelor's degree at the Australian National University in Canberra, Australia. She conducted her Honours research thesis in theoretical modelling of micromotion-enabled fast gates for trapped-ion quantum computing under Prof. Joseph Hope. Phoebe has now joined the Barium team, where she will work on building a high-performance quantum processor with Barium ions.

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, Miriam! Miriam is a master's student from the university of Erlangen and is joining the QCosmo team for her master's thesis. She will work on a rotational cooling scheme for trapped molecular ions.

Welcome Raphael! Raphael received his B.Sc. in Physics at the University of Augsburg, where he completed his thesis in the field of theoretical many-body quantum physics. For his master he moved to Innsbruck and joins the QUDITS team for his master‘s thesis. He will work on a Raman addressing system for the implementation of light-shift gates.
