Max joined our goup. Max got his PhD from the University of Mainz on Measurement of Reduced Dipole Matrix Elements in 40Ca+ and Construction of a Scalable Light-Ion Interface. He will work at Alpine Quantum Technologies on building a quantum computer.
Georg joined our goup. Georg got his PhD from the University of Mainz on Ion Implantation and Transmission Microscopy with Nanometer Resolution using a Deterministic Ion Source. He will work at Alpine Quantum Technologies on building a quantum computer.
Researchers in our group, the IQOQI Innsbruck and the University of Heidelberg, have demonstrated a quantum effect in which noise helps electronic excitation to propagate through a network of ten qubits. The work has now been published in Physical Review Letters and constitutes controlled study of quantum transport, with importance to fields ranging from condensed-matter physics and material science to quantum chemistry and quantum biology.
Congratulations, Gerald!
Thesis Title: Development of novel micro-fabricated ion traps
Congratulations, Julian!
Thesis Title: Simultaneous and individual ion addressing for quantum information processing
Lukas Pernthaler joined the QSim team as a Master student and is working on a single ion addressing setup to address a linear chain of up to 50 ions.
Marco joined the PhiNet/SciNet tean where he will be working on a single ion addressing beam for Raman transitions.
Giovanni has joined the group as a PostDoc. He obtained his PhD from the university of Heidelberg on laser cooling of negative ions and spectroscopy of negatively charged Lanthanum. In Innsbruck, his work on the Barium project will focus on the new setup based on a hemispherical mirror.
Marc has joined the group as a Master student. He will be working on developing automation routines and integrating them into the new experiment control software of the LinTrap experiment.
Scientists in our group, TU Wien and the ÖAW have for the first time demonstrated a wave effect that can lead to measurement errors in the optical position estimation of objects. The work now published in Nature Physics could have consequences for optical microscopy, but could also play a role in position measurements using sound, radar, or gravitational waves.
