Systeme der Elektronik (ZEA-2)

Congratulations to Lotte Geck who was appointed as a Junior Professor (W1) for System Engineering for Quantum Computing at the Electrical Engineering Faculty at the RWTH Aachen University.

From April 24 to 28, 2023, Stefan van Waasen (Director of the ZEA-2 Institute at Forschungszentrum Jülich and Profesor at Universität Duisburg-Essen) was in Georgia at the Agricultural University of Georgia (AUG) at Kakha Bendukidze Campus.

The first workshop on PET Electronics & Technologies, a forum for international research and academia to meet and exchange the latest developments in this field, is going to take place on September 12th – 13th 2023 at Fraunhofer-inHaus-Zentrum in Duisburg, Germany.

In the paper "On Noise-Sensitive Automatic Tuning of Gate-Defined Sensor Dots", we analyze the noise characteristics of measured sensor dot data and define a criterion to identify continuous regions with a sufficient signal-gradient-to-noise ratio.

The second year dual students from our Software Development Team, Lasse van Baal and Julie Bernard, in cooperation with the FH Aachen and Tobias Salz (INM-1), ended the project period of their software project for the ZEA-2 as part of their studies with a software fair in the JSC.

We are participating in the following Back-to-Back Meeting of the Quantum Computer Projects QSolid and GeQCoS in Karlsruhe. Learn more about the topic and the event: Quantum computers open up a completely new dimension in computer technology. They can be used to solve tasks that conventional computers fail at or take an unacceptably long time to process.

Forschungszentrum Jülich’s research magazine effzett has received three awards. Within the scope of the International Creative Media Award (ICMA), effzett issue 3/2021 and effzett issue 1/2022 received one award each in the categories “cover story”, “magazines online”, and “magazines print”.

A large stratospheric balloon was launched in Timmins, Canada, with the infrared spectrum GLORIA-B for atmospheric research. Engineers of ZEA-2 have developed and realized the GLORIA-B system in cooperation with scientists of Jülich Stratospheric Research and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT).

The Tag der Neugier 2022 on Sunday, August 21, was a great success: Around 20,000 visitors came to the research center in sunny weather and explored the Jülich campus. At more than 300 decentralized presentations, they were able to learn about Jülich's research, experience science for themselves on site, and also find out about career opportunities here at the FZJ. Colorful entertainment with research shows, music and much more was offered by a seven-hour non-stop program at the lake stage at the Seecasino.

Since July 1st 2022 the team "Electronic Systems for Quantum Computing" is officially led by the dual leadership Carsten Degenhardt and Christian Grewing.
