Welcome to the Groeblacher Lab

Overview

In our lab we aim to probe quantum physics on a meso- and macroscopic level using mechanical motion, rare-earth ions and superconducting qubits. Over the past years, research into quantum optomechanics has laid the foundation to coherently controlling phonons. Coupling these mechanical excitations to a variety of other quantum systems allows to create hybrid quantum systems, which is enabling fundamentally new experiments in the fields of quantum acoustics, quantum computing and quantum networking. If you want to find out more about the exciting research in our group you can find a full list of our publications, including an overview article or look at a more detailed description of our research.

Our experiments involve techniques from quantum optics, finite element simulation, cryogenics, RF and high-vacuum technology. We fabricate the devices for our experiments in house at the Kavli Nanolab.

We are located at Delft University of Technology, home to Nobel Laureates Jacobus Henricus van ‘t Hoff and Simon van der Meer, amongst many other great scientists. We are part of the Department of Quantum Nanoscience, as well as the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience.

We are continuously looking for talented and passionate Master students, PhDs, as well as Postdocs. You can find more information here!

We are grateful for funding from Delft University of Technology, the European Research Council, NWO, the Frontiers in Nanoscience program, and the Kavli Foundation.
