New Publication: Ultrafast Single Qubit Gates through Multi-Photon Transition Removal

The researchers in PGI-13 and PGI-8 developed a new pulse shaping technique for single qubit control and experimentally validated it.

See more details in the arXiv Ultrafast Single Qubit Gates through Multi-Photon Transition Removal.

Official lab opening of FUNQS.

Today we have some exciting news to announce. We have officially inhaugurated the lab! It has been almost two years of hard work to bring up the lab from scratch. But now, with all the cryostats installed and several of them already runnning qubit experiments, we can officially announce that FUNQS is in the track to achive a Functional Quantum System. The inhauguration ceremony was a complete success. It started with several talks from distiguised speakers, Prof. Dr. Astrid Lambrecht, Prof. Dr. Hendrik Bluhm, and Prof. Vincent Mourik being among them. We continued with a lab tour which included live demonstrations of currently running qubit experiments and finished with some delicious snacks!

Full details of the opening are available on the Website of Forschungszentrum Jülich.
