Deividas Sabonis is a researcher at IBM Research-Zurich laboratory, where he focuses on high frequency quantum measurement efforts in hybrid superconductor-semiconductor materials. For his PhD, he worked on alternative qubit platforms in the field of topological superconductivity at the Niels Bohr Institute and Microsoft Quantum Lab in Copenhagen. After that, he held a postdoctoral position at ETH Zurich, focusing on cavity optomechanics and electromechanics for quantum sensing and coherent Ising machine applications.

Sebastian Krinner is a Senior Assistant in the Quantum Device Lab at ETH Zurich, working on quantum error correction and scaling aspects of quantum computing with superconducting circuits. In 2018, he won the prestigious Lopez-Loreta Prize and, with it a five-year research grant worth 1 million Euro. He received his PhD in Tilmann Esslinger's group at ETH Zurich, where he worked on the quantum transport of ultracold fermionic atoms.
