The CERN Quantum Technology Initiative (CERN QTI) has defined a roadmap and research programme in collaboration with its advisory board, as well as the high-energy physics and quantum-technology research communities

“Cosmic muon flux attenuation methods for superconducting qubit experiments” by Elia Bertoldo, Manel Martínez, Pol Forn and collaborators

Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech will develop the MareNostrum-Ona quantum computer, which will be installed at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC).

Researchers from the Quantum Computing and Technologies (QCT) group at the Institut de Física d’Altes Energies (IFAE) have published a new result in Physical Review Letters reporting the direct observation of spontaneous photon down-conversion in a superconducting quantum circuit. The work demonstrates that a single microwave photon can decay into three lower-energy photons at a Josephson junction, revealing a new regime of light–matter interaction relevant for quantum optics and superconducting qubit technologies.

The IFAE spin-off ​​Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech, was recognized at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2024 as the best digital start-up in the world.

Researchers at the QCT group have achieved precise control over flux qubits, a crucial component for quantum annealing.

The Qilimanjaro-GMV joint venture has completed the first milestone in the construction of the quantum computer at BSC, which consists of remote access to a 5-qubit quantum chip. This chip is operational at Qilimanjaro’s Quantum Computing Technology laboratory at the Institut de Fisica d’Altes Energies (IFAE) and is, in fact, the first quantum computer located in Spanish territory.
