Former group members
This research group, despite being a relatively young group, already has a remarkably long list of past group members who are now in group leader positions in academia or are permanently employed researchers in the quantum industry. At least the past group members in the following list easily fairly qualify for this, and possibly some others. Here, for a change, we forget all modesty and take pride in the group having close to a record in contributing to starting points for academic as well as other research careers. That is to say, we take career planning very seriously.
