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.
The new experiment will allow the scientists at the University of Innsbruck to explore new quantum electrodynamics effects by locating a single ion in front of a hemispherical mirror (Scilight article)
Congratulations, Marc!
Thesis Titled: Automated Frequency Locking via Spectroscopy on trapped 40Ca+ Ions
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.
James did his MPhys at Oxford University where he was investigating the Fermi surface topology of quasi-2D iron-based superconductors.
He will be joining Ben Lanyon's group as a PhD student where he will be researching applications for quantum networks.
Matthias did his PhD at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany, where he worked on polarization-preserving quantum frequency conversion as telecom interface for quantum networks based on single trapped ions and neutral atoms.
In Innsbruck, Matthias will join the 2D crystal team aiming at variational quantum simulation of spin models in two-dimensional geometries.
We are currently looking for Bachelor students, Master students, Ph.D. students, and post-docs.
If you are interested in joining our group, do not hesitate to apply!
