Welcome Tabea! Tabea Stroinski has joined the Distributed Quantum Systems team as a master student. Tabea will work on developing and characterising a universal set of quantum logic gates in a trapped-ion quantum network node. The broad goal is to find ways to combine quantum processing techniques with methods to entangle ions in different traps using photons. 

Welcome Peter Tirler

Welcome Peter! Before coming to Innsbruck, he completed his Bachelor and Master degree at ETH Zürich and wrote his Master thesis with Hartmut Haeffner at UC Berkeley, where he worked on the cooling and readout of electrons in a Paul trap. Now he will start working on the qudit project with Martin Ringbauer.


Welcome Tommaso Faorlin
