Delta Q (ΔQ): Advancing Quantum Frontiers one step at a time
ΔQ is our flagship department dedicated to cutting-edge research in ion trap-based quantum computing, electron-positron interactions, and high-precision experiments. Our work aims to explores the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and antimatter, pushing the boundaries of modern physics.
Quantum Computing with Ion Traps
We are developing a Paul trap-based ion quantum processor, aiming to implement quantum logic operations with trapped ions. This work focuses on coherence properties, error rates, and quantum algorithms for scalable quantum computing.
Electron-Positron Trap for Antimatter Studies
We are designing a dedicated trap for electron-positron confinement, enabling precise studies of matter-antimatter interactions. This experiment has implications for fundamental physics and potential applications in antimatter-based technologies.

Investigating Space Charge Effects and Parallel Computing Simulations in a Paul Trap
This internship focuses on understanding the space charge effects arising from multiple ions confined in a Paul trap and simulating their collective dynamics using parallel computing techniques. When many ions are trapped, mutual Coulomb repulsion significantly alters their trajectories and stability. Accurately modeling this behavior requires efficient computation, especially for systems with tens or hundreds of ions. aims
