Rate My Professor Dominik Zumbühl

Zumbühl's research centers on quantum transport experiments in semiconductor nanostructures at ultralow temperatures, probing quantum coherence, electron and hole spins, nuclear spin interactions, spin-orbit coupling, and related phenomena. Key efforts include developing fast hole spin qubits, nanowires and one-dimensional systems for novel quantum matter, tunneling spectroscopy of edge states, and machine learning for quantum device tuning. He secured an ERC Starting Grant in the first funding round of 2008. In 2023, he was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society for quantum transport experiments in semiconductor nanostructures studying coherence, spins, spin-orbit coupling, and instrument development. Prominent publications encompass "Cotunneling spectroscopy in few-electron quantum dots" (Physical Review Letters, 2004), "Ultrafast hole spin qubit with gate-tunable spin-orbit switch" (Nature Nanotechnology, 2021), "Fully autonomous tuning of a spin qubit" (Nature Electronics, 2026), "Compromise-free scaling of qubit speed and coherence" (Nature Communications, 2025), and "Signatures of Chiral Superconductivity in Rhombohedral Graphene" (Nature, 2025). His contributions have profoundly influenced quantum technologies and condensed matter physics.
