You can think of spin as giving these particles some intrinsic angular momentum. Just like electric charge, spin is a fundamental property of atomic and sub-atomic particles. The team at the Taminiau lab specializes in spins in solid materials and their application for quantum information and sensing. Tim Taminiau’s group at QuTech, a collaboration between TU Delft and TNO, gave him an opportunity to work on his interests. I also realized that quantum science and technology is a very interesting and promising research area, so I decided to continue in that direction.” He also found that his own sweet spot was a combination of laboratory work, simulations and exploring quantum theory.
Abobeih said that it was his final assignment that exposed him to quantum optics and quantum information technology: “I liked the quantum nature of things and I found it stimulating compared with the classical picture that I was more used to.
Having won an Erasmus Mundus scholarship, he honed his skills in three European countries. He applied for a master’s in photonics, a field at the intersection of engineering and physics. The achievement led Abobeih to win the Kavli Delft Publication Prize 2020, and the team is now using the same lattice defect to work on the creation of a fault-tolerant qubit – a building block for a future quantum computer and the quantum internet.ĭuring his bachelor in Electronics and Communications Engineering in Egypt, Mohamed Abobeih realized that he was more interested in physics. Using a defect in the diamond lattice, Mohamed Abobeih and his colleagues have made a big step forward in magnetic imaging of individual atoms (and of molecules in the future). Diamond is known for being a material that is hard to handle, but once you achieve control at the atomic level, you open up very exciting and diverse opportunities.
