Mariami (to many of us just known as Mari) joined our cluster in its first year and worked in the group of David Gross at the Institute of Theoretical Physics in Cologne for 3 years. She finished her PhD studies at the Universities of Siegen and Innsbruck following up...

The Topological Matter Laboratory Cologne When people hear the term “quantum computer”, the pictures which come to mind first are probably the golden chandelier-like inside of a dilution refrigerator with all its cables and tubes or a photo of an actual computer chip....

When I talk to people from different fields about my job, the variety of reactions often surprises me – ranging from the always fun “But what is it that you actually do?” (which I occasionally even hear from people who have spent their whole life in Academia) to...

Building on the added value of having a multi-site cluster, the idea of creating a hub for available infrastructure within our ML4Q framework emerged and a first fabrication map for the Aachen site was posted last November. Here, we present an overview of fabrication...

Hi, my name is Marvin Marco Jansen. I am working as a PhD student at the Forschungszentrum Jülich. My work focuses on the fabrication of single-photon sources in nanowires. This is one of the projects inside the ML4Q cluster and aims to create a...

Have you heard of the app phyphox? If you have school age children or are a teacher, you probably have. If not, you might have stumbled onto it as a nice gadget on a tech blog. At 1.5 million overall installations, it is far from being in the league of Facebook,...

I have had quite an unusual career path, and it may be interesting for others to know that such a path is possible. When I was a high school student, Albert Einstein was my idol. My dream was to become a physics professor (hopefully at the Princeton Advanced...

Fabrication is the first step in many projects, whether you do it yourself or have a fabrication team supporting you. The extent of realization of proposals invariably sees a bottleneck in experimental realization, often the limitation of fabrication capability....
