The superconducting circuits group is led by Prof. Gerhard Kirchmair and is located at the Institute for Experimental Physics at the University of Innsbruck as well as the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information - IQOQI of the Austrian Academy of Science. Our research is based on superconducting electrical circuits and Josephson junctions, which are used to realize a circuit quantum electrodynamics system for quantum information processing and quantum simulation as well as to realize quantum-hybrid systems.
