Jonathan Home is a Full Professor at ETH Zürich, where he has been since 2019 after a successful tenure track period beginning in 2010. He completed his PhD under Professor Andrew Steane at the University of Oxford and was involved in post-doctoral research with David Wineland at NIST Boulder. His research primarily focuses on methods for controlling and manipulating quantum states using trapped atomic ions. His group has achieved several landmark results including implementing quantum error correction and demonstrating GKP qubits. They are at the forefront of developing scalable methods for trapping and control, and have also pioneered multi-qubit gates utilizing novel in-chip optics technology. Jonathan's innovative approaches include the use of microfabricated Penning traps and the commercialization of these technologies through a spin-out company, ZuriQ. In addition to his research, he is actively involved in teaching and outreach initiatives aimed at helping the general public visualize individual atoms. He has delivered talks at TED and the World Economic Forum, and his contributions have earned him numerous accolades, including the Landauer-Bennett Award from the American Physical Society and the ETH Zürich Latsis Prize.
The GRE is mandatory for students who did not obtain their Bachelor's degree in an EU/EFTA state. Some departments (e.g., Computer Science) have specific ECTS credit requirements in core subjects.
