I am an ETH Quantum Engineering PhD student, passionate about quantum information processing. Throughout my academic career I explored various experimental platforms. During my Semester Project and Master Thesis I got introduced to the field of microwave-optical quantum transduction, which will play an import role in the future quantum internet and the upscaling of quantum computers based on superconducting circuits. As a visiting researcher at TU Delft and MIT, I investigated color centers in silicon and their integration in photonic integrated circuits. Those color centers are a promising candidate for repeaters in a future quantum network or even for quantum processors. Currently, I am working on integrated quantum photonics on lithium niobate-on-insulator (LNOI). On the one hand, I am integrating niobium titanium nitride superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors on LNOI. This would enable discrete variable quantum computing, based on single photons. On the other hand, I am looking into generating non-classical states of light – like squeezed states and Schrödinger cat states – towards bosonic quantum computing.
