Uri Vool

Uri received his PhD in 2017 from Yale University, working with Michel Devoret and Steve Girvin on superconducting quantum circuits and open quantum systems. He then joined Harvard University as a John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellow, working with Amir Yacoby on quantum sensing and its application to condensed-matter systems. Since April 2022, Uri has been leading the Max Planck Research Group for Quantum Information for Quantum Materials (QIQM) at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids (CPfS). The group works between the quantum information and quantum materials fields, developing coherent quantum systems as sensors for condensed-matter phenomena and utilizing materials to make novel hybrid quantum systems. The group specializes in two experimental techniques: Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond and hybrid superconducting electromagnetic circuits.
