I am passionate about studying quantum physics in small, human-made electronic devices. I am curiosity driven in my research, but I want mine to have relevance to society. Contributing to the very early phases of building a quantum computer is a great research niche for me where this comes together. In my research, I advocate open science, including the open access of full research data and protocols, open peer review, and open access of research papers.

Beyond my physics related activities, I love nature, in particular birds. On a voluntary basis I participate as a bird tagger in ecological projects, with the goal of protecting and conserving our natural world. Privately, we have a family with three young kids, so life's busy at the moment, but in a great way.

FOCKE

PhD Candidate
RESEARCH TOPIC
Spin qubits with SiGe/Ge/SiGe quantum wells

Working on Spin Qubits confined in a Ge/SiGe heterostructure with an initial focus on fabrication of nanoscale devices. In a second step we will study these Spin Qubits to gain insights on the novel properties of Germanium and evaluate their suitability for large scale Qubit devices.

RESEARCH TOPIC
Superconducting qubits with SiGe/Ge/SiGe quantum wells

Working on making high transparency Josephson junctions with Ge QW 2DHG as the weak-link to study essential quantum phenomena in the system. We plan to test this junction’s ability to work as the centre piece of a gateman qubit.

RESEARCH TOPIC
Spin qubits with SiGe/Ge/SiGe quantum wells

Working on Spin qubits in Ge/SiGe heterostructures, concentrating on the electrical and cryogenic setups and device measurements. With these qubits we want to understand the interplay of material parameters and qubit metrics to deliberately engineer devices with increased performance.
