In July 2008, the group of Alexey Ustinov finished its move to the University of Karlsruhe (TH).
Alltogether, ten people and four laboratories found a new home in Karlsruhe.
Our new homepage is hosted at the Physikalisches Institut: Research Group Ustinov.

Dr. Andreas Wallraff, the former PhD student and post doc in Prof. Alexey Ustinov's group in Erlangen,
presently at ETH Zürich,
received the 2006 Nicholas Kurti European Science Prize from Oxford Instruments for his earlier
work on Josephson phase qubits and vortex qubits in Erlangen during 2000-2003. In the prize
nomination is stated He is recognised for a record of sustained achievement covering his
postgraduate and postdoctoral research, at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and more
recently at Yale University, in which he has worked at the forefront of quantum device
research employing experimental low temperature techniques. In particular, he is recognized
for performing several seminal and highly original experiments on quantum mechanical effects
in superconducting circuits, combining low-noise electronics, millikelvin temperatures and
microwave techniques.
This work has a significant impact on the fields of superconducting
devices and quantum mechanics of macroscopic solid state systems and has advanced the state
of the art for quantum information processing using superconducting circuits.

The Nicholas Kurti Science Prize was presented to Dr. Wallraff at the opening ceremony of the 8th
International Conference on Materials and Mechanisms of Superconductivity and High Temperature
Superconductors (M2S-HTSC-VIII) which was held in Dresden Germany from July 9 to July 14, 2006.
