Andrew Higginbothom

Andrew Higginbothom is Assistant Professor for Condensed Matter and Quantum Circuits at the Institute of Science and Technology, IST Austria. The Higginbotham group experimentally explores the boundaries between condensed-matter systems and quantum information processing. In practice, the group builds small electronic devices that combine superconductors, semiconductors, and mechanical oscillators. The central idea of their approach is that building rudimentary information-processing devices both teaches us about the physics of these interesting systems and advances technology such as quantum computing. Currently, the group is interested in using electromechanical and microwave measurement techniques to study quantities that are “invisible” to conventional electrical circuits.
