Biography
Frank Wilhelm studied physics at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany,
where he obtained his Vordiplom (B.S.) in 1993, Diplom (M.S.) in 1996, and
Doctorate in 1999. His thesis research was in condensed matter theory in the
group of G. Schoen, studying superconducting nanodevices. He started working on
quantum computing in 1999, when he joined the experimental physics group of J.E.
Mooij in what is now known as the Kavli institute for Nanoscience at the TU
Delft in the Netherlands. Still being a theorist, he moved to the LMU Munich in
2001, where he obtained the Habilitation and was appointed lecturer in 2004. He
joined UW and IQC in 2006.
