Miss Teresa Hoenigl-Decrinis

Former PhD student funded by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and Royal Holloway (RHUL).

Graduated in Physics from University College London (UCL) with a First Class Honours in 2014, MSci Physics.

During her PhD Teresa focused on quantum optics phenomena with artificial atoms, developed quantum technologies and investigated novel approaches for the standard of current based on the coherent quantum phase slip (CQPS) effect.

As part of Teresa's PhD project she has designed, built and operated the first superconducting qubit in the UK [1] with the expertise of her PhD supervisor Prof. Oleg Astafiev and other members of the Nanotechnology group at Royal Holloway.

Press release of the first superconducting qubit in the UK:

Demonstrated in teaching laboratories, tutored undergraduates in Mathematical Methods, and marked undergraduate’s work within the Physics Department.

In particular courses Teresa has been involved with are listed below: 

• Atomic and Nuclear Physics (PH2510)
• Mathematica as part of first year labs (PH1140)
• Mathematical Methods (PH2130)
• Quantum Theory (PH3210)
