Description
I will outline my path from physics studies and a PhD in Munich to ETH Zurich (postdoc and Oberassistent in quantum transport) with more than 50 peer‑reviewed publications, then describe my move to Infineon Technologies in Villach in 2016. I will discuss the transition from MEMS process integration to leading Infineon’s trapped‑ion program, heading quantum technology development from 2020 and now serving as Senior Director Ion Trap Systems
I will present concrete outcomes: a team that today exceeds 50 people, co-developing quantum processing units with the leading system integrators; more than 50 patent families filed in trapped‑ion quantum computing; industrially microfabricated ion traps produced in Villach; and a dedicated on‑site quantum test laboratory.
