Pol Forn-Díaz comments on the Nobel Prize in Physics in superconducting circuits, the field his group works in

The Quantum Computing Technologies Lab at IFAE has just received its new dilution refrigerator from Leiden Cryogenics. The unit, customized with IFAE’s colors, is currently cooling down and is expected to reach 10 mK (0.01 K above absolute zero) tomorrow.

David López, Alba Torras, Elia Bertoldo, Luca Cozzolino, Manel Martinez and Pol Forn are authors of this paper.

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.

The Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE) is one of the 23 partners from eight EU member states in SUPREME, a new European project selected under the Chips Joint Undertaking to establish pilot lines for the industrial production of superconducting quantum chips.
