UIBK is a leader in the development of the most advanced digital quantum simulators based on trapped ions.
The group has pioneered quantum computing, topological quantum error correction, and quantum simulation (analogue and digital).
The group is diverse and highly collaborative to make the best use of the collective ability and has strong ties to the local theory groups of P. Zoller and H. Briegel.
This makes UIBK excellently equipped to not only achieve the digital simulation goals of this project but also contribute to the development of the theory proposals and supply valuable insight in the realization of the analogue simulations performed by the other experimental nodes.
Dr Martin Ringbauer completed his Ph.D.in 2016 and is currently a Marie-Sklodowska- Curie Fellow at the University of Innsbruck, where he works on novel approaches for trappedion quantum information processing.
His research interests range from the fundamental structure and certification of quantum coherence and entanglement to quantum simulation and quantum information processing.
Dr. Ringbauer will contribute his ability in quantum information processing and high-dimensional spin systems for pushing the trapped-ion platform beyond the state-of-the-art.
He has published 23 papers and his work continuously attracted the interest of not just the scientific community, but also the public.
Prof. Hannes Pichler, obtained his Ph.D.in 2015 at the University of Innsbruck, Austria.
After his postdoctoral stays at Harvard University the California Institute of Technology he returned to Austria, where he is currently Professor for Theoretical Physics at UIBK and Research Associate at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information and Quantum Optics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
His research interests range from
quantum many-body physics to quantum information processing, with a focus on applications
in near-term devices such as Rydberg atom arrays.
Prof. Rainer Blatt, finished his studies of experimental physics in 1981 at the University of Mainz, Germany.
Following repetitive stays in the USA at the JILA, and accepting
a professorship in Göttingen, Germany, Prof. Rainer Blatt followed a call to the University of Innsbruck as Ordinarius Professor in 1995, with a research emphasis on trapped ions.
His leadership skills and foresight in research are reflected, besides thirty-three dissertations, in ten professorships accepted by former co-workers.
Under his guidance, members of his research team have successfully applied for three ERC Start awards, 5 Austrian Start awards, and one ERC Advanced award. To date, Prof. Blatt has published more than three hundred articles and was honoured with sixteen international awards.
The UIBK node will contribute to all WPs.
In tight collaboration with the theory nodes, UIBK will develop new methods for and implement digital quantum simulations within the project.
In collaboration with the analogue WP, UIBK will contribute their ability to develop complementary views on the studied questions.
