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

Armin joined the group for his Master project where he will set up a new 729nm laser system.


Welcome Anders Lindberg

Published: Thursday, 25 February 2021

Anders did his master's degree at Stockholm University in the group of Markus Hennrich working on improving the coherence times of ions. In Innsbruck he will join the Quantum Information team on the LinTrap setup.

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.


Error pro­­tected quantum bits entang­­led

Published: Tuesday, 19 January 2021

For the first time, physicists from the University of Innsbruck have entangled two quantum bits distributed over several quantum objects and successfully transmitted their quantum properties. This marks an important milestone in the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers. The researchers published their report in Nature.


Welcome Matthias Dietl

Published: Monday, 12 October 2020

Matthias did his Masters in Regensburg in the group of Prof. Schüller, and is now joining the Cryo team as PhD student. He will work both in Innsbruck and in Villach with Infineon on the development of novel 2D surface traps.
