We are now hiring for the new 1.5-M€ project Autonomous Quantum Processor! If you are an exceptionally successful student (GPA >4.5/5.0) or have a PhD on cQED, send your cover letter and CV (including your GPAs) to Mikko by email at mikko.mottonen@aalto.fi. We will hire as soon as we can find amazing candidates.

Professor Mikko Möttönen has received a three-year grant from the Jane and Aatos Erkko Foundation to correct quantum errors. His research group is developing a solution that will allow microwave pulses to be kept at a temperature of millikelvin, or -273 degrees.

(Aalto news)

We have a major effort on experimental quantum physics with superconducting circuits, but we also carry out computational and theoretical work down to fundamental quantum mechanics. Currently, we focus on control and readout techniques for superconducting qubits and on the implementation of on-demand dissipation in quantum circuits to study the related dynamics of open quantum systems. 
We also develop ultrasensitive microwave detectors and on-chip components for controlling microwave photons, single-electron pumps based on silicon quantum dots, and quantum knots and monopoles in Bose-Einstein condensates. We are also proud to have given birth to a leading European quantum-computer company . Recently, we jointly developed with IQM an open-source software, KQCircuits, to design superconducting quantum processors, making our tools available for the entire quantum community (more information ).
