Simulation of the formation of particle-antiparticle pairs in two spatial dimensions

New type of quan­tum com­puter stud­ies the dance of ele­men­tary par­ti­cles

Details
Published: 16 April 2025

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 Kautzky

Published: 11 April 2025

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.

Dominik Kiesenhofer receives his PhD

Congratulations, Dominik!

Thesis Titled: Control of two-dimensional ion crystals in a radio-frequency trap for quantum simulation

Welcome Lorenzo Calandra Buonaura

Details
Published: 19 March 2025

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.

Welcome Andrea Turci

Published: 27 January 2025

Congratulations, Lukas! Thesis title: Towards Scalability of Quantum Processors

Welcome Giorgio Ciocca

Details
Published: 20 January 2025

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 Michael Raffetseder

Details
Published: 07 January 2025

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.
