I am super happy to have finished my #PhD in #Quantum!!

Thank you all for my friends and for my amazing supervisors!!

I am super happy! Soon I'll post my thesis on arXiv :)
Newly minted PhD! Rafael Wagner passed his PhD viva at Univ. Minho today with flying colours. Multiple papers and collaborations, deep foundational insights and even experiments, this thesis has it all. Congrats Rafael! @inlnano.bsky.social

Over the recent weeks and months, John Preskill and I sat down to think about where we are in quantum computing. While the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (#NISQ) era is just unfolding as we speak, the time seems right to look ahead to the next steps to come.

One of the best places in the world to do a PhD in quantum - I did mine with this fellowship and it was awesome! Apart from great environment in Munich, lots of opportunities to mingle with other quantum centers in the world in summer schools, workshops etc.
The International Max Planck Research School for Quantum Science and Technology (IMPRS-QST) and the Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) announced the open call for several fully funded PhD fellowships starting from Fall 2026.
