New QCT Group Paper on Superinductors and Ultrastrong Coupling
July 17, 2025
A new study by the Quantum Computing and Technologies (QCT) group at IFAE reports an advance in superconducting quantum circuits, demonstrating ultrastrong coupling between a flux qubit and a resonator using a superinductor based on granular aluminium. The result, obtained in a device designed, fabricated and characterized locally, stems from fundamental research in circuit quantum electrodynamics and is part of the European Quantera SiUCs project.
