QuantAlps
An ecosystem for quantum sciences & technologies 

This research axis focuses on the technologies needed to achieve the quantum regime and study its properties in a controlled manner: cryogenics, cryo-CMOS, applied superconductivity, and spintronics. Researchers are working on the development of i) cryogenics, ii) cryo-electronics, optoelectronics, and spintronics, and iii) technological components specific to quantum physics, from materials development through to their integration.
The scientific objectives are the development of new cryogenic equipment for quantum research (optical cryostats, UHV, HTC coils, etc.), and the optimization of cooling efficiency; the development of ultra-low-power, ultra-low-noise cryo-CMOS; 3D integration schemes to reduce the wiring load across the quantum core and control electronics; high-efficiency opto-mechanical conversion of photon wavelength; and the development and integration of spin-based quantum memories.
