Welcome, Miriam! Miriam is a master's student from the university of Erlangen and is joining the QCosmo team for her master's thesis. She will work on a rotational cooling scheme for trapped molecular ions.

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.

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!
