Completed Projects

Solid State Systems for Quantum Information Processing (SOLID)

The goal of the project SOLID is to develop small solid-state hybrid systems capable of performing elementary processing and communication of quantum information. This involves design, fabrication and investigation of combinations of qubits, oscillators, cavities, and transmission lines, creating hybrid devices interfacing different types of qubits for quantum data storage, qubit interconversion, and communication.

Atomic Quantum Technologies (AQUTE)

EU, 7th Framework Programme FP7
In this project we develop quantum technologies based on atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) systems for scalable quantum computation and for entanglement-enabled technologies like metrology and sensing and we establish and exploit new interdisciplinary connections, coming from AMO physics.

Geometric phases, pumping, and dissipation in quantum devices (GEOMDISS)

EU, 7th Framework Programme FP7
The aim of this project is to assess the role of geometric manipulations in quantum solid-state devices for future information and communication technology applications and in metrological applications under realistic conditions.

Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics and Quantum Information Processing with Superconducting Circuits

Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)
In this project we investigate the fundamental interaction matter and light in electronic circuits and explore potential applications of the observed effects for quantum information processing.
