๐ฌ This research activities will be performed in close collaboration with my group at the University of Innsbruck and the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information and will strongly benefit from synergies with local theory groups. The deadline for applications is the 27.03.2026.
โ๏ธ DIPC - in collaboration with the Ikerbasque Basque Foundation for Science - opens two Tenure-Track Research positions as Ikerbasque Research Fellows to join the tweezer lab at DIPC to lead the scientific and technical development and to be strongly involved in defining the scientific strategy.
๐ A unique and exciting new adventure is starting right now in San Sebastian (Basque Country, Spain) at DIPC (dipc.ehu.eus/es), developing the next generation programmable tweezer setup with dysprosium to perform beyond state-of-the-art quantum simulation, computation and information processing.
A Special Honor: Francesca was invited to sign the Golden Book of the City of Innsbruck! ๐ The invitation followed her recognition as Austriaโs Scientist of the Year. Innsbruckโs mayor Johannes Anzengruber warmly congratulated Francesca and emphasized how proud the city is of her achievement. ๐๏ธ
โ๏ธI am happy to share that I am selected to be part of the "Quantum 100" for the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology! Itโs exciting to see how the Quantum 100 provides a snapshot of the diverse community in quantum science.
