Konrad Lehnert

Konrad Lehnert’s group build electrical and electromechanical machines and coax them into exhibiting quantum behavior. They are motivated by asking: “what is the largest and most tangible object that can be in two places at once?” In addition, they seek to use these machines to store, process, and transmit information in an essentially quantum way. Finally, they develop measurement tools for sensing feeble forces and electrical signals at the limits imposed by quantum mechanics.
