	Merlin von Soosten PhD Candidate merlin*nbi.ku.dk +45 5013 1173 HCØ Building, 3-420	I joined QDev shortly after its genesis in 2012, gaining an experimental background on fabrication and measurements on mesoscopic semiconductor nanowire devices. Currently I am Read more >> working on oxide based hetero-structures. Using AFM-lithography setup for charge writing for the fabrication of nanoscale devices on these samples.
	Alexander Whiticar PhD Candidate rwh229*alumni.ku.dk +45 4256 6645 HCØ Building, 3-104	My research at QDev pertains to exploring new seed materials for III-V semiconductor nanowires. This research focuses on realising electron beam lithography patterns needed for nanowire arrays. Read more >> I also characterise the effects that new seed materials have on nanowire growth using scanning and transmission electron microscopy.

	Brian Møller Andersen bma*fys.ku.dk +45 3532 0419 Rockefeller, S-025	I work as an associate professor in the condensed matter theory group at NBI. Main research activities are centered around strongly correlated electron systems with special focus of unconventional Read more >> superconductors and quantum magnetism. In particular, I am interested in unusual effects arising from electronic correlations and spatial inhomogeneíty and disorder. The latter includes novel transport properties in superconducting quantum devices, including quantum dot systems and interface planar structures.
	Matthias Christandl christandl*math.ku.dk +45 3533 2298	Matthias Christandl is a professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen. Matthias'research is in the area of Quantum Information Theory. Read more >> It is his aim to improve our understanding of the ultimate limits of computation and communication given by quantum theory. Concrete research results include a proposal for a perfect quantum wire and a new method for the detection of entanglement. Matthias Christandl received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2006. He then became a Thomas Nevile Research Fellow at Magdalene College Cambridge. In 2008, he joined the faculty of the University of Munich as a Juniorprofessor; since 2010 he has been assistant professor at ETH Zurich. He moved to the University of Copenhagen in April 2014.
	Jeroen Danon jeroen.danon*ntnu.no	I work as a an associate professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim. I do theoretical research in the fields of quantum transport and mesoscopic physics, Read more >> mostly focusing on topics in the direction of quantum information applications. I like to work on problems closely related to actual experiments, such as experiments involving spin qubits or Majorana bound states, and much of my past and current research is in very close collaboration with experimentalists.
	Per Hedegård hedegard*fys.ku.dk +45 3532 0435 Rockefeller, S-007	The condensed matter theory group teach and do research in fundamental aspects of many-body physics related to new materials and electronics properties of nanosystems and quantum information systems.
	Finn Berg Rasmussen finnberg*fys.ku.dk +45 3532 0417	Finn Berg Rasmussen, pensioned 2006. Conduction in metals and semimetals, thermodynamic and nuclear magnetic properties of Ag, Rh, and 3He.
