Postdocs

Jean-Claude Besse is part of the Superconducting Circuits team of the ETH Zurich - PSI Quantum Computing Hub. He joined our group in February 2016 to conduct a PhD thesis, with a focus on quantum optics interactions in superconducting circuits. After successfully defending his thesis in January 2021, Jean-Claude remained with the Quantum Device Lab as a PostDoc. Previously, Jean-Claude worked on cavity optomechanics in the Painter lab at Caltech and on nanomechanical structures for quantum dots coupling with Imamoglu's group at ETH.

David joined the Quantum Device Lab in January 2017 as a Postdoc after completing his PhD thesis with Leo Kouwenhoven at the TU Delft in the Netherlands.After leaving our group he started to work as a Quantum Researcher at Microsoft in De Lier, Netherlands.

Pasquale Scarlino joined the Quantum Device Lab in March 2016 as a Postdoc. He obtained his PhD degree from the Spin Qubit Group of Prof. Lieven Vandersypen at the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, TU Delft in February 2016. After leaving our group he started to work at Microsoft Copenhagen. He was named as Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Physics from October 2020 at EPF Lausanne.

joined our group as a PostDoc in July 2014. Previously, Anton studied strongly correlated materials and exotic superconductors with magnetic resonance techniques at “Jozef Stefan” Institute in Slovenia. He obtained his PhD degree from the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. After leaving the Quantum Device Lab he moved on to imec.

joined our group in from July 2014 to September 2018. His research at the Quantum Device Lab focused on quantum geometric phases and interactions between artificial atoms and microwave photons. Simone had previously worked on Cooper-pair pumping, dissipation in driven quantum systems and electron thermometry in metallic and semiconducting nanostructures. He obtained his PhD degree at Aalto University, Finland and his MSc degree at University of Pisa and Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy.

Sébastien joined our group in December 2015 to September 2018. His research focused on the coupling of Rydberg atoms and superconducting qubits in microwave cavities. He previously worked on the development of fiber interfaces between single atoms and single optical photons during his PhD at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, Ecole Normale Supérieure, in Paris, France. After leaving QuDev, Sébastien moved on to "Equipe Photonique Quantique at Collège de France".

Christian Andersen joined the group as a PostDoc in October 2016. During his postdoc, Christian focused on designing and operating superconducting qubit devices for quantum error correction. Christian obtained his PhD at Aarhus University, Denmark, where he studied the theory and design of quantum devices with superconducting circuits. After leaving our group he started as an Assistant Professor at TU Delft where his lab develop novel superconducting qubits.
