Anton Potočnik

Anton Potočnik is a senior researcher at imec where he is exploring quantum computing based on superconducting circuit technology. His main topics of interest are investigating sources of decoherence in qubits, interfacing qubits with cryo-CMOS electronics and exploring novel techniques for scaling up superconducting quantum devices. Before joining imec, Anton was a postdoc at ETH Zurich in prof. Wallraff’s group, where he worked on analog quantum simulations. One of his notable achievements was modelling photosynthetic processes with superconducting devices. Anton received his PhD in physics from University of Ljubljana in 2013. During his undergraduate studies he worked on exotic superconductivity and his work led to a discovery of a new type of matter called the Jahn-Teller metal.
