About me
Pavel has 10 years of experience with trapped ions in various guises. During his PhD he worked to bring fundamental quantum control techniques from radio-frequency traps to Penning traps for the first time dreaming that one day they could be used to build a quantum computer. He then moved to the University of Innsbruck to the world-renowned lab of Prof. Rainer Blatt to work on scaling quantum computation in radio-frequency surface chip traps with mixed ionic species. While there he co-developed a novel entangling gate mechanism for ions that storage information in more levels than just two levels. Three years ago, he joined the Penning team at ETH Zürich to finally make his dream come true.
My organisation
ZuriQ is solving the most difficult challenge in quantum computing - scaling the number of qubits to unlock performance beyond the reach of any classical computer. Our competitive edge comes from our unique computing architecture that natively leverages large 2 dimensional arrays of trapped atoms on industrially fabricated microchips to efficiently scale. These computers will solve hard problems for our customers in fields such as drug design, chemistry or finance.
