Tough marathon out there, but happy overall. Thanks for the support! PS: 3.8km swim only.
Sports week at @qudev @ETH_physics @ETHQuantumCntr @ETH_en. Our @BesseJC came in 22nd at @ChallengeRoth after a 4.8 km swim (49:56), 180 km bike and a marathon (3:03:32) in a total of 8:21:39. Amazing time! Well done!

Congrats also to @qudev’s triathlon icon @BesseJC for winning the #ASVZ #SOLA race with team @TVOerlikon 1 out of 1025 teams. They did 3:38 mins/km for 114 km. Our @qudev team did 4:51 mins/km. We came in 2 h 18 mins after them and still made rank 78. Exciting day for @qudev .

On top of @ETH! The #quantum computing team of @qudev at @ETH_physics @ETHQuantumCntr on the terrace on top of the @ETH_en main building having a coffee break during its project development workshop. Do you like the view? I think it is very nice. More photos in the next tweet.

The first @qudev Winter Retreat since the interruption by the pandemic was a great success, I think. Many @ETH_physics and #Quantum Engineering @ETH_en students and researchers of our lab participated in the scientific, social and outdoor activities. See if you recognize anyone! – at Zurich, Switzerland

Might be our first manuscript with @ETH_en - @psich_en Quantum Computing Hub contributions (?)
New @qudev @ETH_physics @ETHQuantumCntr @ETH_en paper out on @arxiv today on the Calibration of Drive Non-Linearity for Arbitrary-Angle Single-Qubit Gates Using Error Amplification. This has the potential to make your single qubit gates better! arxiv.org/abs/2212.01077

Team @qudev of @ETH_physics @ETH_en is getting ready for the 2022 #ASVZ SOLA relay race this Saturday. 14 legs, 120 km, 2700 m altitude difference. Excited to race! In 2019 @qudev came in 183rd of around 1000 teams. #solastaffette #SuperQudev trackmaxx.ch/maps/?m=ec368d9…

First superconducting #quantum bits measured (on a 17-qubit device) at the @ETH_en - @psich_en #QuantumComputing Hub only 8 months after moving in. A big thank you goes to the great team making it possible. Read more here: psi.ch/en/scd/scientific-hig… More qubits to come!

My first first-author paper is published in @PhysRevX 🎉! We implement a universal #quantum gate set on #microwave #photons using #superconducting #qubits. Thanks to an amazing team @qudev @ETH_physics @ETH_en, to all co-authors, incl. @BesseJC, @AndreasAtETH & @eichler__chris.
Check out the first 2022 paper of @qudev @ETH_physics @ETH_en which appeared just now as @PhysRevX 12, 011008, "Realization of a Universal #Quantum Gate Set for Itinerant #Microwave Photons" With @KevinReuer @BesseJC @eichler__chris and coauthors. journals.aps.org/prx/abstrac…
