Intro
The Compact-Q DEER Spectrometer is designed to support researchers in academia and industry to efficiently characterize quantum materials, develop devices for quantum sensing, advance and validate algorithms to control qubits, and other applications in spin-based quantum technologies. The Compact-Q DEER system features a modern microwave architecture, high-resolution AWG, and digital signal processing schemes enabling high flexibility in addressing modern challenges of quantum technologies.
Webinar Overview
The focus of this webinar will be to highlight the capabilities of the Compact-Q DEER spectrometer towards the characterization and coherent control of qubits for quantum technologies. Modern experiments in Quantum Information Science (QIS) demand a state-of-the-art microwave architecture, fast, high-memory, high-resolution AWGs, large transmission and detection bandwidths, and modern digital signal processing features to create the most sophisticated pulse shapes, quantum gates and read-out sequences. Having all of those features incorporated, as well as operating at an intermediate frequency of 500 MHz, and utilizing a cryogen-free 1.5 T magnet with integrated Variable Temperature Insert (iVTI) enabling temperatures from 2 K to RT, the Compact-Q system meets modern demands and provides a versatile and high-fidelity platform for probing qubit properties and execution of quantum algorithms driving innovations in quantum technologies.

Speakers
Alvaro Montoya
Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Florida
EPR Application Scientist, Bruker BioSpin
Alvaro Montoya began his EPR career as a Ph.D. student at the University of Florida after obtaining his B.S. in Chemistry from Susquehanna University. Early in his graduate career, he made use of CW and High Field EPR in studying the catalytic mechanisms of metalloenzymes. He then grew a profound appreciation for FT EPR and expanded his EPR toolbox for his research endeavors. After completing his Ph.D., Alvaro joined Bruker in January of 2023 working as an Applications Scientist.
Dmitry Akhmetzyanov
Ph.D. in chemistry from Goethe University Frankfurt am Main
Research Scientist, Bruker BioSpinDr. Akhmetzyanov began exploring EPR spectroscopy during his undergraduate studies at Kazan University, the birthplace of EPR. Throughout his Bachelor’s and Master’s programs, Dmitry’s work centered on applying EPR techniques to materials science. For his Ph.D., Dmitry joined Thomas Prisner’s group at Goethe University Frankfurt am Main, where he focused on development and applications of pulsed EPR dipolar spectroscopy to study structures and dynamics of macromolecules. After his research positions in Germany and Canada, Dmitry joined Bruker in 2024. In the current role as a Research Scientist, he focuses on advancing EPR spectroscopy, developing novel applications, and supporting customers.
