Ten new doctoral training projects exploring quantum technology in novel ways

Aalto Centre for Quantum Engineering has awarded funding for ten new doctoral training projects in quantum technology. This new decision mobilizes PROFI-funding allocated to this field at Aalto. Following proposals (supervisor) have received funding:

• Nanoparticle internal structure in design of topological effects (Päivi Törmä)
• From labs to markets – The emergence of quantum computing as a field of science and business (Nina Granqvist)
• Ultrasensitive measurements using mechanical resonators in the quantum regime (Mika Sillanpää)
• Private Information Retrieval, Private Computation, and Secure Multiparty Computation with Quantum Servers (Camilla Hollanti)
• Optical forging of two-dimensional materials for scalable quantum emitters (Harri Lipsanen)
• Quantum mechanics through interactive art (Perttu Hämäläinen)
• Photon statistic of ultrafast Bose-Einstein condensates (Päivi Törmä)
• Mem-devices with superconducting circuits (Christian Flindt)
• Shortcuts to adiabaticity in superconducting charge pumps and refrigerators (Jukka Pekola)
• Radio Frequency Quantum-Circuit Refrigerator (Mikko Möttönen)

19 applications were submitted by the deadline in May.  The funding decision, based on the recommendations of a local review board, was made by the Dean of the School of Science, Prof. Jouko Lampinen on 18 June, 2019.
