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.

Quantum information is fragile, which is why quantum computers must be able to correct errors. But what if whole qubits are lost? Researchers at the University of Innsbruck, in collaboration with RWTH Aachen University and University of Bologna, are now presenting a method in the journal Nature that allows quantum computers to keep going even if they lose some qubits along the way.
