As a new Center, an essential part of our success is hiring a cohort of talented scientists. QDev was integrated into the Niels Bohr Institute’s Condensed Matter Physics group. Theory post-doctoral fellows and PhD students working with Karsten Flensberg as well as experimental/materials post-doctoral fellows and PhD students working with Jesper Nygård became affiliated with QDev. In addition, two Ph.D. students and a new Associate Professor, Ferdinand Kuemmeth, as well as the Center Coordinator, Jess Martin, moved with Marcus from Harvard to Copenhagen. Building off of this base, QDev has recruited another 12 new staff members, 11 academic and one administrative.
