Congratulations, Dominik!

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

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! Andrea is a master's student from the university of Padua and joins the QCosmo team for his master thesis. He will work on investigating Bayesian state estimation and  experimental design for measuring and controlling the rotational state distribution in molecules.

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

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, 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.

Congratulations, Leni!

Thesis Titled: Quantum correlations of large planar ion crystals in a novel monolithic radiofrequency trap

Welcome, Michael! He studied theoretical physics at the University of Bologna and is currently a PhD student in the Cryo team, where  he is involved in the Millenion project, which is dedicated to advancing trapped-ion quantum computers and transitioning them from lab prototypes to scalable, industry-grade quantum technologies.

Welcome Nele! Nele is a master’s student from Heidelberg who joined the 2D crystals team for her master’s project. She will investigate the realization of entangling operations with a 532nm laser.
