About Us

Increasingly smaller and faster, devices for information processing are everywhere. Nevertheless, the impressive development of such technologies is threatened if the possibilities offered by quantum physics are not considered.

The research teams of LP2N collectively known as "Cold Atoms in Bordeaux " are devoted to the use of atomic waves, either to exploit the unrivaled sensitivity of matter wave interferometers or to develop simulators where the atoms are used to study the transport properties and propagation.

New group established on the island of Malta, performing theoretical work in quantum optomechanics, quantum optics, and quantum thermodynamics.

Yesterday, During the visit at QuTech, Delft, Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society, Gunther H. Oettinger, and Minister of Economic Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Henk Kamp, stated that action is needed to ensure Europe remains a world leader in Quantum Technology.

To enhance overall interest, activity and investment in Quantum Technologies across Europe, the Netherlands is planning to organize a conference in Amsterdam in cooperation with the European Commission. The aim of the conference is to foster collaboration between European scientific and industry communities, showcase innovation and provide a platform to present a comprehensive vision and roadmap across the spectrum of Quantum Technologies. The Presidency will report the conclusions of the Conference to the Competitiveness Council in May 2016.

The first report of the "Russian Quantum Center" (RQC, http://www.rqc.ru) has been made public recently. It presents the results of research work since 2012, when the organizational period ended and the RQC began full operation. You can grab a copy here.

A participatory workshop on Quantum Technologies and Industry was held in Brussels on 6 May 2015. The aim was to identify what could be the markets for quantum technologies, and how these could be industrialised. The workshop report (available here) summarises the discussions and the action plan which emerged as a conclusion.

- theory of networks of superconducting circuits for quantum simulation

- non-classical dynamics in optomechanical systems
