Hi, I'm Julius

I'm an atomic physicist currently working at Pasqal in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

We are working to build a quantum computer based on neutral atoms and Rydberg interactions. I work in a team that forms the link between the hardware on the one hand, and the algorithms on the other.

On the blog on this website I hope to share some of the interesting things I learn in and outside of the lab, which typically don't find their way into papers.
