QUROPE Quantum Information Processing and Communication in Europe

Our research is devoted to the study and development of quantum functionalities in semiconductor systems using the nanofabrication techniques of opto-electronics. We develop high performances integrated sources of quantum light, non-linear devices operating at the single photon level, spin-based quantum memories and optomechanical platforms for quantum information processing.

The group conducts theoretical research on correlated quantum systems. Our main efforts focus on the physics of systems that constitute promising plateforms for concrete realization of quantum technologies. Together with other systems in condensed matter and quantum optics, ultracold atoms have already produced milestone results, which turn quantum technologies from dream to reality.

• Solid state qubits (silicon qubits, quantum dots, superconducting qubits and circuit QED, etc).
• Topological Superconductors and Majoranas in condensed matter.
• Quantum Materials (topological materials, strongly correlated electrons, etc).

The Commission High Level Steering Committee (http://qurope.eu/db/news/expert-group-quantum-technology-flagship) has released a summary of the results obtained during its first meeting (Brussels, Tuesday 20 Spetember 2016).

Our research group explores the physics of information in quantum integrated circuits, which we design, realize and measure. These objects can be viewed as quantum machines processing information. In contrast with ordinary circuits, in which quantum mechanics enters only at the level of individual electrons, the degrees of freedom of these machines at the signal level behave according to the laws of quantum mechanics.

Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to inform you about the ESAS Winter school on Novel Frontiers in Superconducting Electronics: from Fundamental Concepts and Advanced Materials towards Future Applications.

The ESAS Winter school will take place on December 12-17, 2016, in Pozzuoli (Napoli), Italy.
We are also very glad to communicate that the following lecturers have confirmed their participation in the school:

• Simulation of real-time dynamics of quantum many-body systems with the "Massively Parallel Quantum Dynamics Simulator"
• Quantum annealing
• Adiabatic quantum computation
• Gate-level quantum computation
• Foundations of quantum physics

QUCHIP – Quantum Simulation on a Photonic Chip is a FET-ProActive project funded under the call FETPROACT-3-2014: Quantum simulation.

The goal of QUCHIP is to study applications of quantum walks in simulating quantum phenomena.

QUCHIP involves 9 European Universities and Research Centres from 5 different European countries.
