My advice for young researcher is to always think one step ahead and not follow the fashion. Following the fashion means you will never be at the forefront, which is what is expected from you as a researcher.

Adrien Noury - Laboratoire Charles Coulomb, Université de Montpellier, France.

Dr. Anja Köhntopp and Dr. Christoph Kölbl

Anja Köhntopp and Christoph Kölbl

Our laser-based detection system is fast and can detect traces of explosives while you are doing other things like putting your luggage on the belt: you don’t need to stand still and wait for the scan to finish.

Anja Köhntopp and Christoph Kölbl - Institute of Technical Physics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

Prof. Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus

The Zurich Instruments QCCS made it possible to set up and start the measurement of qubits very quickly. In particular, the generation of precise high-frequency signals using double-superheterodyne frequency conversion significantly reduced the calibration burden in the qubit readout and control measurement setup.

Dr. Andre Maier and Prof. Marcus Scheele

Andre Maier and Marcus Scheele

We implemented a characterization method based on asynchronous optical sampling, where the UHFLI Lock-in Amplifier from Zurich Instruments plays an important role. With this technique, we can unravel the intrinsic temporal response of the developed photodetectors in the range of pico- to nanoseconds.

Nathan Lacroix and Sebastian Krinner

We use Zurich Instruments' equipment for low-noise and high-resolution control signal generation and for readout with FPGA-based fast signal processing. If we had to build control electronics on a large scale with similar characteristics, that would distract us from our core research activities.
