They will be able to learn about research we are conducting on novel states of matter such as quasicrystals, superconductors at superhigh pressure, neutron-star matter, and the quark-gluon plasma. They will also find information regarding the physics of biological systems, such as the human heart ""seen"" in ultrasound, the human lung imaged using spin-aligned Helium-3, and the visual systems of living creatures. They find space science interesting, we will enjoy learning about decoded signals from the universe, detected in forms ranging from x-rays and gamma rays, to atomic nuclei, to ancient stardust grains extracted from meteorites, to gravitational waves from colliding neutron stars. They will be fascinated by our theoretical studies of complex systems, from the QCD vacuum to color superconductors, from glassy materials to proteins, from neurons to brains. They also include information on how to earn a degree in physics, whether it's a Bachelor's or a Ph.D., as well as information about our excellent facilities and our superb staff. They are especially proud of the Pfeiffer Physics Library, our splendid machine shop, the parallel supercomputer center, and the revolutionary NANOSIMS ion probe.

Zurich Instruments' SHFQC, a Full Qubit Control System

Zurich Instrument’s new SHFQC is the first qubit controller with the capabilities to utilize up to 6 qubits simultaneously. The SHFQC is capable of seamlessly integrating into any pre-existing Zurich Instruments quantum computing products and allows for scaling of up to 100 qubits and more.
