Experiences & Events
Research Lab Visits & Technical Tours
Learning to use a wire-bonding setup inside a clean enclosure, where delicate connections are made between chips, electrodes, and control hardware. This was my first experience observing how quantum devices and microfabricated chips are assembled at a detailed, hands-on level
Visiting Professor Zwierlein’s quantum physics laboratory at MIT, where I had the opportunity to see experimental setups, learn about ongoing research, and observe how advanced quantum systems are built and studied. This experience deepened my understanding of what hands-on quantum research looks like beyond theory and simulation.
Discussing the components of a dilution refrigerator and cryogenic hardware used to cool superconducting qubits to millikelvin temperatures. Seeing these systems in person helped me connect the theoretical models I study in QML with the physical constraints of real quantum computers.
