The Nicholas Kurti Science Prize promotes and recognises the novel work of young European scientists working in the fields of low temperatures and/or high magnetic fields. Dr Menno Veldhorst is recognised for his ground-breaking work on silicon-and germanium-based electron spin quantum bits. This includes a demonstration of record spin coherence times and the demonstration of integrated two-qubit functionality. Dr Veldhorst will be presenting his award winning work at the Prize Ceremony. More information is available on the company Website at nanoscience.oxinst.com
