Dear students and colleagues, Lund University is a place for objectivity, open conversation and the gratifying quest for knowledge. We are an organisation with a unique task – to produce, discuss and communicate knowledge. We are an organisation of, and for, experts.

In a recent article, Harald Havir et al. present a method for rapid and efficient detection of electrical charge in quantum systems using a nonlinear resonator that amplifies the signal without matching the sensor’s dissipation conditions. Thereby, they overcome previous limitations and make it applicable to various oscillating systems. In a recent article, Harald Havir et al. present a method for
