The Quantum Technology department at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), led by PD Dr. Georgy Astakhov, just received his new and shiny Qnami ProteusQ. The Scanning NV microscope will enable the team to identify the best innovative materials to engineer room-temperature qubits.
The Group
PD Dr. Georgy Astakhov and his team develop quantum technologies such as quantum sensing, quantum communication, and quantum computing. His research focuses on using atomic-scale defects in materials like silicon, silicon carbide, diamond, and 2D materials such as hexagonal boron nitride to create qubits for quantum computing. Additionally, Dr. Astakhov has made significant contributions to the field of quantum materials and technology through numerous publications, particularly in the study of quantum wells and semiconductor nanostructures.
The first impression after ProteusQ installation
After the completion of the installation and the training, the team at HZDR started to complete the first measurements with ProteusQ. Dr. Astakhov happily shared with us his first impressions on the quantum microscope and how he believes it will help the team further achieve its research goals.
ProteusQ will allow us to study domain walls in antiferromagnetic materials, and the first measurements are very promising. We also plan to use ProteusQ to investigate magnonic structures. The ProteusQ offers flexibility, allowing us to design new experiments that were previously impossible in our lab
