Researchers at Leibniz IPHT working on the QRC-4-ESP project reported a new approach for measuring the coherent dynamics of a superconducting qubit embedded in an open waveguide. By studying how the qubit interacts directly with propagating microwave photons, the team demonstrates a powerful method for probing quantum coherence in an open quantum system. 🔬🌊 The work provides valuable insights into light–matter interactions at the quantum level and advances our ability to ch

Dr. Wendy Otieno, Loughborough University Postdoc Researcher 1. What first sparked your interest in quantum research, and how did it lead you to join the QRC-4-ESP project? Numerically solving Schrödinger’s equation for quantum systems like particles in finite and infinite potential wells first sparked my interest in quantum research. Through this process, I developed a deep appreciation for the elegant yet challenging mathematical structures that underpin quantum systems.

In a recently published study 📄, researchers working on the QRC-4-ESP project have developed a mathematical framework 🧮 for a quantum...
