Quentin Ficheux will join the Quantum Device Lab in July 2021 as a Postdoc. His research will focus on the implementation of Quantum circuits for simulation and computation. Quentin obtained his PhD from ENS Paris and Lyon, where he studied the dynamics of a Quantum bit under simultaneous and incompatible measurements. He then joined JQI at the University of Maryland, where he implemented high-fidelity gates on Fluxonium circuits.

Laurent Michaud joined the Quantum Device Lab during the Spring Semester 2020 for a Master-thesis project within the ETH Zurich Master programme (MSc ETH Physics). His work focuses on 3D integration of superconducting qubits.

Niti Kohli joined the Quantum Device Lab in October 2019 as part of the project teams working on SuperQuNet and OpenSuperQ. After graduation in 2015 with a Bachelor's degree of Science ZFH in mechanical engineering from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) Niti started his career as Mechanical Engineer for the company P3 group AG in Schwerzenbach.

Christoph Hellings joined the Quantum Device Lab in November 2019 as a Postdoc. He obtained his PhD from TU Munich, where he worked on signal processing methods for wireless communication systems as well as on algorithms for nonconvex optimization. At the Quantum Device Lab, his research includes the design and implementation of algorithms for quantum computation and quantum simulation as well as signal processing aspects in superconducting circuits.

François Swiadek joined the Quantum Device Lab in August 2019 for a PhD thesis. His research focuses on superconducting quantum computing. Previously, François worked on cavity optomechanics at Thales, on nanophotonic cavity QED with Lukin's group at Harvard and on a trapped-atom clock at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel at ENS Paris. He obtained a Diplôme d'Ingénieur from ESPCI Paris, and completed a Master of Science at ENS Paris.

Dante Colao joined the Quantum Device Lab in September 2019 for a PhD thesis, after receiving his MSc from CentraleSupélec and BSc from UFRGS. His research focuses on scaling up quantum processors as part of the OpenSuperQ project.

Lab responsible and technician with focus on mechanics and cryogenics. Alain Fauquex joined the Quantum Device Lab in April of 2019 after previously working at SKH Schonert AG as a design engineer. There he has gathered experience in the design of chemical instruments, complex transmissions and robotics. Before that he has worked for Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. - also as a design engineer - where he was part of the fuselage and rear fuselage team of the Pilatus PC-24. Besides his employment at QuDev, he is currently attending the "Aargauische Maturitätsschule für Erwachsene (AME)."

Johannes Herrmann joined our group in May 2018 to conduct a PhD thesis. His research focuses on the electrical hardware components for quantum computing. Prior to joining our group, he obtained a degree in electrical engineering from RWTH Aachen and a degree in applied physics from Keio University in Japan.

Stefania Lazăr is conducting a Phd-thesis at the Quantum Device Lab. She first joined our group in summer 2016 during a two-month internship and continued to work with us as a research assistant. She received her Bachelor degree in Engineering Physics from the University of California in Berkeley, USA.
