Pasquale ScarlinoI obtained my master's degree in Physics at the University of Salento, Lecce (Italy) in February 2011. During 2006-2011, I have also been a student of Scuola Superiore ISUFI (SSI). SSI is one of six schools of excellence established in Italy to develop the intellectual capital in technological and social sciences. I conducted an external Master thesis project during an 8 months internship in the Quantum Transport Group at TU Delft, under the supervision of Prof. L.M.K. Vandersypen. There, I implemented the Quantum Point Contact Radio-Frequency Reflectometry technique, which allows increasing the single-shot electron spin readout bandwidth and is currently routinely used in the group.I obtained my Ph.D. degree in February 2016, in the Spin Qubits group of Prof. L.M.K. Vandersypen at the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience-Qutech (TU Delft). During my Ph.D. I have been leading the Si/SiGe spin qubits project, collaborating with the M. Eriksson Group at Wisconsin University. In parallel, I have been working on other different projects, in particular with GaAs depletion quantum dots, high impedance superconducting resonators, and surface acoustic wave resonators. I have been working as a Postdoc fellow in the group of Prof. A. Wallraff (Quantum Device Lab) at ETH Zurich. My main project, in collaboration with the group of Prof. K. Ensslin and Prof. T. Ihn, consisted in integrating semiconductor and superconductor technologies. Realizing a well-controlled interface between the semiconductor and superconductor-based quantum information technologies may allow harnessing the best of both device architectures, for example by providing an interface between strongly coupled charge state and high coherence spin states. Furthermore, it enables the possibility to explore light/matter hybridization in a class of solid-state systems and regimes that are new in the context of quantum optics.From June 2019 till September 2020, I have been a Senior Researcher at Microsoft Station Q Copenhagen and at the Center for Quantum Devices in Copenhagen, focusing on developing semiconductor-superconducting hybrid hardware for topologically protected quantum computation.Since October 2020, I am a tenure track Assistant Professor of Physics in the School of Basic Sciences at the EPFL where I founded the Hybrid Quantum Circuit (HQC) laboratory.

Gian Luca BarbruniGian Luca Barbruni achieved his BSc and his MSc in Biomedical Engineering with specialisation in Biomedical Instrumentation at the Politecnico di Torino in 2017 and 2019, respectively.During his master thesis, supervised by Prof. Danilo Demarchi from Politecnico di Torino and titled “Body Dust: Feasibility study on signal transmission for sub-100μm-size active wireless biosensors”, he spent a semester of research at Integrated Circuit Laboratory (ICLAB) of Neuchâtel under the supervision of Prof. Sandro Carrara from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He discusses about the feasibility on creating an UltraSound (US) communication circuit to wirelessly transmit outside the body diagnostic information from multiplexed biosensors chip built on the top layer of a drinkable CMOS “Body Dust” cube. The results of the feasibility study have been published showing promising results with sub-10 µW of power consumption and a total chip area of 43 x 44 µm2.He was a Research Assistant at the Department of Electronic Engineering (DET) of Politecnico di Torino.Actually he is conducting his PhD focusing on design and fabrication of analog and digital circuits for ultra-miniaturized CMOS for vision prosthesis, directed by Prof. Diego Ghezzi at Medtronic Chair in Neuroengineering in Geneva and co-directed by Prof. Sandro Carrara at ICLAB in Neuchâtel.
Hernán FurciHernán grew up in Argentina, where he pursued studies in Industrial (UTN, 2 years) and Nuclear Engineering (Instituto Balseiro, MSc equivalent, 2010). After gaining experience in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics as a Research Engineer at the National Atomic Energy Commission, he moved to France where he completed a MSc in Fusion Science (2012), at the Aix-Marseille University, with a Master dissertation carried out at ITER (the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), focusing on superconducting magnet cooling. His interest for the cooling of cryogenic systems led him to completing a PhD in experimental cryogenic heat transfer at the University of Paris-Saclay (Boiling Helium Natural Circulation Loops in Transient Regime, 2015). In 2016, he received a MCSA COFUND CERN fellowship, with which he carried out a 3-year research project at CERN, at the Superconducting Radiofrequency and Cryogenics Central Laboratory sections. He led the development of superconducting ultra fine thermometry below 2 K based on Au-Sn transition edge sensors. This was his first contact with the microtechnology world and with EPFL, through the CMi. In 2019, following this new passion for the microworld, he joined Prof. Niels Quack's group as a PostDoc in Integrated Photonics and MEMS. In 2020, Hernán received an SNSF Ambizione grant, in collaboration with Prof. Jürgen Brugger and Dr. Giovanni Boero, from the LMIS1, to work on superconducting microresonators for microwave sensing, a project combining his expertise in low temperature physics, nanotechnology and waves. The project started in 2021 and will extend until 2025. He continues to collaborate with Prof. Quack in Integrated Photonics topics and teaching in the Photonic Micro- and Nanosystems course.
Guanhao HuangDuring my bachelor’s study, I worked in Kim Kihwan’s trapped ion quantum computing group at the Insitutue for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences of Tsinghua University, China. I primarily worked on cryogenic helical RF resonators, and realizing beam splitter gates for boson sampling using ions’ motional states. Here at LPQM, I am currently working on the generation of non-classical quantum states in macroscopic systems through optomechanical interactions at room temperature, and also chip-based nanophotonic applications.
