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

SEQUEL host Silicon Quantum Information Processing Workshop 2023 Alessandro Rossi (PI) and Megan Powell (PhD Student) were among the organisers of the Silicon Quantum Information Processing Workshop that was held in Glasgow on September 20th, 2023.  The event attracted national and international delegates from both academia and industry. The event was followed by a conference

Megan Powell Selected for the International Summer School in Quantum Technologies! Megan Powell (PhD Student) was selected to attend the International Summer School in Quantum Technologies organised by the National Quantum Technologies Programme and held at the University of Birmingham in August 2023. The School aimed at delivering world-class training to the most promising quantum
