SEQUEL attend SQIP25 in Dublin Alessandro, Megan and Kris attended the Silicon Quantum Information Processing workshop (SQIP25) in Dublin on September 19th. The event attracted about 60 delegates from business and academia to discuss progress on scalability and manufacturing of spin qubits. Our colleagues from NPL were there too: Jon Fletcher, Jon Eastoe and Ateeq

Kristopher Barr receives Sir David Anderson Travel Award! Dr Kristopher Barr received the Sir Anderson Award to spend 3 weeks at our industry partner SemiQon in Finland. He will engage in a range of activities including fabrication of silicon spin qubit devices, as well as cryogenic testing of CMOS electronics. He will be hosted by

SEQUEL joins leading institutions in Prosperity Partnership to address thermal challenges in quantum computing SEQUEL group has partnered with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Quantum Motion in a new three-year project named FIRETRACE aimed at creating advanced tools for measuring and modelling the thermal behaviour of cryogenic electronics.

Paper on Cover Page! Our collaboration with NPL has produced an important breakthrough in reducing the time it takes to carry out measurements of semiconductor electron pumps. A new machine learning algorithm has been developed for automatically tuning and characterising single-electron pump devices in a multiplexed array. An approximately 8-fold reduction in data acquisition time

Undergraduate student Cameron Leckie awarded prestigious Carnegie scholarship for SEQUEL internship Undergraduate student Cameron Leckie is awarded a prestigious Carnegie scholarship for a summer internship in the Sequel lab. His project will use finite element modeling simulations to investigate transistor technologies from the world most advanced silicon foundries. The final goal is to establish suitability
