Masters Students
Kim Ho June, Master Student
I received my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering at University of Waterloo. I got to work on optical tweezer array generation and control for Rydberg atom quantum simulation at IQC during my time at Waterloo, which got me excited about cold atom experiments and led me to start my master's in quantum engineering here at ETH. For my semester project I was at Ion Trap Quantum Computing group at PSI testing a compact double-pass AOM board for a new cryogenic setup. I also worked part time as a research assistant at Quantum Optics group, implementing an ethernet interface for a RF signal generator board using ethernet controller IC and lwIP server running on the MCU. Now I am a master student at TIQI group, working on improving the loading of H2+ ions into the RF trap by implementing resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) of H2 molecules with a tunable pulsed laser system.
Mabritto Chidzahi, Master Student
After earning my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Turin, I pursued a Master's degree in Quantum Engineering at ETH Zurich. Throughout my studies, I had the opportunity to work on a versatile RF source for quantum optics experiments, contribute to the development of an entangling gate with superconducting qubits, and complete an internship focused on designing the next generation of control systems for quantum experiments.
I became deeply fascinated by the technical challenges in the field and the high standards of the systems used. My attention was particularly drawn to the interface between classical control systems and the physical platforms utilized in quantum information experiments. To further explore this interest, I joined the TIQI group for my Master's thesis, which aims to enhance control systems to enable the implementation of more sophisticated experimental schemes.
Florian Max, Master Student
After completing my bachelor's in physics in Heidelberg, I began a master's in physics at ETH.
For my semester project I had the chance to spend two months in the Relativistic Attosecond Physics Laboratory in Umeå, Sweden, working with nanophotonic samples and imaging.
For my master' s project I am designing a cryo-compatible lens for optical tweezers in the Rydberg subgroup.
