The group of Christian Ospelkaus is part of the "MicroQC" consortium (University of Sofia, University of Siegen, University of Sussex, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, University of Hannover and PTB) which aims to develop methods for scalable quantum computing with trapped ions based on microwave technology. Within the quantum technologies flagship, the EU will fund this research with 1.8M € over three years. We look forward to exciting interactions with our colleagues!
