Our results on single molecule spectroscopy have been published. This has been one of the major goals of our lab @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social ! A more detailed summary is given on our website: www.quantum-molecules.eu The full text is available open access at: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Celebrate with us Quantum's approaching 10 year anniversary in 2026 with the publication of the 2026th paper! Do you know which paper that is? quantum-journal.org/2026-quantum...

2026 Quantum papers!

Congratulations Quantum community! It’s hard to believe 10 years have passed and we’re en route to our 10-year founding anniversary in April 2026. On that occasion we wanted to announce ...

In general, let's just stop paying companies that host this BS. Fight the drain of scientific publishing. arxiv.org/abs/2511.04820

Our paper on 2D connectivity in ion traps has been published. We demonstrate the building blocks of a trapped ion architecture that does not need junctions or ion crystal splitting and merging. This has been a tour de force but it has been worth it. journals.aps.org/prx/abstract...

There is much community knowledge about quantum systems that is hard to find in publications. Silicon is not ideal for ion traps at cryogenic temperatures. We worked with Infineon Austria to develop a fused silica based trap instead of silicon for complex trap designs. arxiv.org/abs/2505.21284

Hats off to Michael Meth for doing the experiments on this monster project: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Simulating two-dimensional lattice gauge theories on a qudit quantum computer - Nature Physics

Qubit-based simulations of gauge theories are challenging as gauge fields require high-dimensional encoding. Now a quantum electrodynamics model has been demonstrated using trapped-ion qudits, which e...

Our work on quantum error correction in molecular rotation got published in Quantum! quantum-journal.org/papers/q-202... We were inspired by @vva.bsky.social et al's work on robust encoding of quantum information in quantum rotors. We developed implementation strategies for Æ-codes in ion traps

Our first work on molecular ions is on the arxiv! We had a look into the dissociation process of CaOH+. The molecule can be formed by reaction with water molecules. We took a single- and two- photon dissociation spectrum: arxiv.org/abs/2401.10854

Our preprint on Steane QEC is online: arxiv.org/abs/2312.09745 A collaboration of @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social and FZ Jülich. In Steane QEC, the syndrome readout is performed by preparing additional logical qubits and transversal CNOTs.
