EC - FP7

The European Commission's seventh framework program.

MIDAS

Full Name: 
Macroscopic interference devices for atomic and solid-state systems: quantum control of super-currents
Coordinator: 
KURIZKI, Gershon
Running time: 
2008-04-01 - 2011-09-30

MIDAS aims to work on noise control allowing high fidelity quantum operations on the entanglement of collective variables which are prerequisites for high precision metrology, weak signal sensing and teleportation near the ultimate quantum limits. The project will explore the feasibility of interfacing UCA and SC quantum storage/readout system. This proposal aims to create a new field of research by merging two previously unrelated classes of quantum systems.

HIP

Full Name: 
Hybrid Information Processing
Coordinator: 
ILLUMINATI, Fabrizio
Running time: 
2008-11-01 - 2011-10-31

HIP addresses the problem of scaling quantum processors by attempting to build elementary hybrid atom-photon devices and develop the schemes for their integration on platforms capable of being miniaturised and scaled up in functional networks.

HIDEAS

Full Name: 
High Dimensional Entangled Systems
Coordinator: 
LUGIATO, Luigi
Running time: 
2008-10-01 - 2011-09-30

HIDEAS aims at exploiting the high-dimensional multimodal entangled quantum states of the optical radiation field to significantly increase the information capacity of quantum communication, quantum imaging and quantum metrology

GEOMDISS

Full Name: 
Geometric phases, pumping, and dissipation in quantum devices
Coordinator: 
SHNIRMAN, Alexander
Running time: 
2009-09-01 - 2012-08-31

The aim of this project is to investigate how dissipation influences the geometric phases and geometric pumping in quantum solid-state devices and to assess the role of geometric manipulations in future ICT applications. Since all realistic solid-state devices suffer from dissipation due to their coupling to uncontrolled environment with many degrees of freedom it is crucial to understand how the geometric effects are modified and whether they are still useful.

CORNER

Full Name: 
Correlated noise effects in quantum information processing
Coordinator: 
BANASZEK, Konrad
Running time: 
2008-07-01 - 2011-06-30

CORNER aims to develop a general framework for understanding and managing noise effects in quantum information technology with particular attention paid to the previously unexplored area of correlated noise errors that commonly arise in space and/or time especially in large scale operations.

COQUIT

Full Name: 
Collective quantum operations for information technologies
Coordinator: 
PALERMO, Roberto
Running time: 
2009-05-01 - 2012-04-30

COQUIT aims at designing quantum algorithms that can be implemented in terms of operations that are easily feasible on many particle quantum states and to investigate quantum devices with limited control. Instead of improving the corresponding experimental methods, CQOUIT aims at a systematic study of the tasks which can be performed with currently available techniques.

COMPAS

Full Name: 
Computing with Mesoscopic Photonic and Atomic States
Coordinator: 
CERF, Nicolas
Running time: 
2008-04-01 - 2011-03-31

COMPAS aims at carrying out exploratory research on mesoscopic continuous variable quantum information systems, with the ultimate objective of designing the first small scale quantum processor using this continuous variable toolbox.

AQUTE

Full Name: 
Atomic QUantum TEchnologies
Coordinator: 
Tommaso Calarco
Website: 
Running time: 
2010-02-01 - 2013-04-30
The Atomic QUantum TEchnologies (AQUTE) Integrating Project aims at
  1. Developing quantum technologies based on atomic, molecular and optical (AMO) systems both for scalable quantum computation as well as entanglement-enabled technologies (like metrology and sensing)
