AGP defended her thesis with the title "9Be+ Ion Qubit Control Using an Optical Frequency Comb". Congratulations! Ploffi approves.

Tobias Florin has joined the QLEDS team as a bachelor student. He has studied in Hannover and will now work on his bachelor thesis. He will set up a new monolithic frequency doubling cavity for the QLEDS photoionization laser system.

Frederik Jacobs has joined the Hannover ion trappers as a bachelor student. For his bachelor thesis he will work on the simulation of magnetic fields originating from an ion trap setup with permanent magnets. The setup will enable for the realization of longlived qubit states in the surface paul...

Julian Pick has started the work on his bachelor thesis. He will develop an electron/proton source for the QLEDS project.

The Leibniz Universitätsgesellschaft e.V. awarded this year's poster prize at the NanoDay 2016 to Martina Wahnschaffe for her poster on "Microfabricated ion traps for microwave quantum logic". Congratulations!

Fabian Ude has rejoined our group as master student. He will support the surface electrode trap team in Hannover.

Martina defended her thesis with the title "Engineered Microwave Control for Trapped Ions". Congratulations!

We are constantly looking for motivated (to-be) ion trappers to join our team! If you are interested in a Bacherlor's thesis, undergraduate work, Master's thesis, PhD thesis or postdoctoral researcher position, please contact Christian Ospelkaus!

The QLEDS project aims to apply ion-trap quantum logic techniques to precision measurements on individual (anti-)protons for fundamental physics tests.

We describe the design of a microfabricated Paul trap with integrated microwave conductors for quantum simulation and entangling logic gates.
