There is much community knowledge about quantum systems that is hard to find in publications. Silicon is not ideal for ion traps at cryogenic temperatures. We worked with Infineon Austria to develop a fused silica based trap instead of silicon for complex trap designs. arxiv.org/abs/2505.21284

Hats off to Michael Meth for doing the experiments on this monster project: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Innsbruck is hosting YAO!!!! Are you not yet registered? Hurry up :-) list of speakers AMAZInG! Honestly, YAO is one of the best event the Atomic Physics community has ever created for PhD Students! @yao2025.bsky.social

The 7th annual STAQ Quantum Ideas Summer School will be held at Duke University June 9-13, 2025. Applications and materials from previous #SummerSTAQ events are available here: staq.pratt.duke.edu/summer-school

Our work on quantum error correction in molecular rotation got published in Quantum! quantum-journal.org/papers/q-202... We were inspired by @vva.bsky.social et al's work on robust encoding of quantum information in quantum rotors. We developed implementation strategies for Æ-codes in ion traps

Our first work on molecular ions is on the arxiv! We had a look into the dissociation process of CaOH+. The molecule can be formed by reaction with water molecules. We took a single- and two- photon dissociation spectrum: arxiv.org/abs/2401.10854

Our preprint on Steane QEC is online: arxiv.org/abs/2312.09745 A collaboration of @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social and FZ Jülich. In Steane QEC, the syndrome readout is performed by preparing additional logical qubits and transversal CNOTs.
