Helena is enrolled in the Quantum Engineering program at ETH Zürich, where she has worked across different quantum computing platforms. At the Paul Scherrer Institute, she developed robust quantum gates for trapped ions in Dr. Cornelius Hempel’s group. She then joined Diraq as a Research Intern, where she worked on simulations of pulse spectroscopy experiments for quantum-dot qubits. Helena joined EQUS for her Master’s thesis project, where she is working with the hybrid spin/superconducting team on simulations and device characterization of long-range coupling in quantum-dot spin-qubit devices.
