The Consortium
Fondazione Bruno Kessler - FBK
The Sensors & Devices centre of Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK-SD) is a research centre of reference, in Italy and internationally, for the development of novel concepts in sensors and devices for fundamental science and technological applications. The FBK-SD research infrastructure includes a state-of-the-art cleanroom facility and a cryogenic laboratory dedicated to the characterisation of superconducting devices. In recent years, several supercoducting quantum devices have been developed and characterised at FBK, such as parametric amplifiers, qubits and Josephson junction-based sensors.
Group of Dr. Federica Mantegazzini
Aalto University
The Superconducting Qubits and Circuit QED (KVANTTI) group is part of the Department of Applied Physics at Aalto University in Finland. The group’s main expertise lies in superconducting quantum circuits (both experimental and theoretical) and their application to tasks that highlight the advantages provided by quantum correlations in quantum computing and simulation. One of the main focuses of the KVANTTI group is entanglement in continuous variables, microwave field squeezing, and their use in quantum-enhanced sensing of phase differences.

Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica - INRiM
The Superconducting Quantum Electronics group at INRiM is at the forefront of developing cutting-edge devices for microwave metrology in quantum technologies. The group is specialized in the modeling, designing, and fabricating of nanostructured devices, including Josephson junctions and high-quality factor resonators—core components of our research. The reseach focus encompasses linear and nonlinear device characterization, precise power and phase standards development, noise analysis, and quantum state tomography. By exploiting the circuit QED architecture, the group leverage quantum protocols to push the boundaries of accuracy and performance in quantum-enhanced metrological systems.

Silent Waves
Silent Waves is a French startup that has spun-out from the Institut Néel, a CNRS’s laboratory based in Grenoble, France. Launched in 2022, Silent Waves develops, manufactures and commercializes quantum technologies for the fields of quantum computing and quantum information. Its first product is an ultra-low noise microwave amplifier, essential for high-fidelity superconducting qubit readout. The core technology of these amplifiers - low impedance Josephson junction arrays - will be exploited as platforms for microwave squeezers
