The Center for Quantum Devices and Microsoft Station Q Copenhagen, a medium-size research lab at the Niels Bohr institute (University of Copenhagen), with sponsorship from Microsoft Research, is currently investigating quantum devices based on nanofabricated semiconductors and superconductors. These devices are applied to future quantum information processing technologies, to be used as qubits and approaches to topological quantum computing. We intend to hire up to three experienced electronics engineers, circuit designers, and FPGA programmers to help implement and control these quantum ...

The group and our researchThe focus of our research is translational medicine in primary human liver and hepatobiliary cancers with emphasis on next-generation sequencing in the characterization of tumor heterogeneity (e.g. single-cell RNAseq), as well as prognostic or predictive biomarker discovery to aid novel therapeutics and clinical efficacy. It is our goal to improve diagnosis, clinical decision-making and ultimately patient outcome through translational and pharmacogenomics discoveries. This is facilitated in our Group via interdisciplinary research as well as a strong international ...
