We welcome Joram as a new PhD student to our lab! He will join the exciting adventures of our maglev team with the goal to magnetically levitate superconducting microparticles and to control their motion in the quantum regime. We wish you all the best on this journey.
Published: flip-chip and AlN works.
Published works from our lab:
Work from our maglev team: Superconducting flip-chip devices using indium microspheres on Au-passivated Nb or NbN as under-bump metallization layer. Published in Appl. Phys. Lett. Our work made it to the cover of the journal! Congrats!
Work from our optomechanics team: Thickness dependence of the mechanical properties of piezoelectric high-Qm nanomechanical resonators made from aluminium nitride. Published in Materials for Quantum Technologies and included in the Focus collection on Opto- and Electromechanical Systems. Congrats!
Congrats Lauren!
Lauren successfully defended his Master thesis at the end of 2024. His thesis is entitled Tensile-strained crystalline aluminium nitride nanomechanical resonators. Congrats and well deserved!
Congrats Karim!
Yesterday Karim successfully defended his Master thesis entitled Superconducting flux transformers for the modulation of flux-tunable resonators. Congrats and well deserved!
Karim will stay with us for some months as a research engineer to support our fab efforts in the maglev experiment.
A simple superconducting flip-chip
We have developed a simple superconducting flip-chip for our maglev experiment. Interested, have a look here.
Great work by the maglev team: Achintya, Paul, Karim, and Fabian!
