Prof. dr. Gary Steele

Gary Steele is a professor of quantum physics at the department of Quantum Nanoscience in Delft. He comes from a background of condensed matter physics, studying the quantum Hall effect in semiconductors during my PhD. In his postdoc, he worked intensely on advanced and creative nanofabrication techniques with carbon nanotubes. In 2010, Gary started my own group in Delft, focussed on nanomechanics. The core aim of his research is to combine  superconducting quantum circuits, such as qubits, to create and explore quantum states of mechanical resonators, with the hope to be able to probe the interaction of quantum mechanics and general relativity.
