Experimental projects
M.Sc. Project Spin Qubit Readout using Cryogenic Amplifiers
In this project, you will establish spin qubit readout using cryogenic amplification in our group. You will adopt findings from previous work into an experimental setup to improve the readout speed of our qubits by utilizing transistors at mK temperatures. Further, you will evaluate different amplifier designs and transistor types for their suitability for this talk in the future.

M.Sc. Project Single electron transport in a quantum-bus T-junction in Si/SiGe
In this project, you will develop new characterization benchmarks for non-linear shuttling devices (T-Junction). Utilizing those, as well as your acquired knowledge about measurement techniques, you identify promising devices which you will then experiment on in a dilution refrigerator to demonstrate the capabilities of the T-Junction design.

M.Sc. Project Coherent Shuttling in Isotopically Purified 28Si/SiGe
In this project, you will pioneer and improve methods on coherent electron shuttling in devices engineered for this specific usecase. These methods promise to pave the way for scalability in spin-qubit based quantum processors. You will gain experience on low temperature measurements at 4K and 30mK and work on soft- as well as hardware

M.Sc. Project Cryogenic DACs for Spin Qubit Control
In this project, you will measure the performance of a custom developed cryogenic digital-to-analog converter (DAC) by connecting its outputs to the DC gate electrodes of a spin qubit. Crogenic control electronics like this DAC present a promising route for scaling qubits from lab to industrial applications.

M.Sc. Project Droplet GaAs quantum dots for optical readout of spin qubits
In this project, we want to characterise the epitaxial GaAs quantum dots grown in a vicinity of the 2DEG in order to design an optimum heterostructure for the spin-photon qubit conversion. The characterisation will involve studies of optical transitions in the quantum dots, with an emphasize on the dependence of properties such as photon energy and recombination rate on the occupation of the two dimensional electron gas.

M.Sc. Project: Time Multiplexed Optical Qubit Readout
In this project, you will be designing optical cavities to facilitate the collection of photons emitted by quantum dots into optical fibers. This project is part of a new activity initiated by the Chair of Integrated Photonics (IPH) together with the Quantum Technology Group on time-interleaved (multiplexed) optical readout of quantum dots.

M.Sc. Project: Development of electron spin qubits in ZnSe using a shadow-mask technology
ZnSe exhibits ideal properties for hosting electron spin quantum bits. However, this II/VI semiconductor has not been considered for this purpose. Under supervision of Alex Pawlis (FZ Jülich), who is an expert in the growth of (Zn,Mg)Se heterostructures, you will electrically characterize (Zn,Mg)Se heterostructures and fabricate quantum dot devices.
