Our technologies
Silicon Nitride Platform for Integrated Quantum Photonic Applications
The CNM-VLC is a Silicon Nitride photonics integration platform for photonic integrated waveguide and circuit applications such as biophotonics, tele/datacom, quantum and sensing. It has been developed together with the company VLC Photonics. It is offered through shared multi-project wafer runs or through dedicated wafer runs, with possible customizations.
Quantum key distribution systems in wireless channels with automatic beam tracking
We develop self-stabilized quantum key distribution systems capable of high quantum key transmission rates through free space in atmospheric turbulent environments, such as metropolitan areas in daylight conditions.

Hybrid quantum devices
We exploit magnetic nanostructures coupled to superconducting circuits to store quantum information, establish wireless communication between different parts of a quantum circuit, perform proof-of-concept implementations of quantum error correction and optimization algorithms, simulate novel states of matter and develop quantum sensors.
Integrated microwave electronics
We develop cryogenic electronic components for all stages involved in the control and read-out of solid state quantum processor units, contributing to boost scalability and to enhance the readout sensibility to a level limited only by quantum noise.
On-chip magnetic resonance and refrigeration
We explore potential of hybrid quantum circuits to develop on-chip magnetic resonance, with applications ranging from scientific instrumentation to chemical and biological analysis at the level of pico-littre sized specimens. In addition, we explore novel refrigeration technologies to take such quantum devices closer to the market.
Quantum algorithms for business applications
We develop quantum algorithms for quantum computers and quantum inspired algorithms for classical software, with competitive performance in problems of commercial interest, such as combinatorial optimization for logistics, simulation of complex risk analysis models, or acceleration of machine learning models. Some of these technologies are available through our spin-off Inspiration-Q.
Superconducting radiation and particle detectors
We develop superconducting radiation and particle detectors, operating at very low temperatures, for a variety of applications.
Cryogenic detectors based on superconductors combine nearly zero dark counts, very low thresholds, excellent sensitivity and high quantum efficiency. They are capable of single photon detection and can also be used to detect phonons. Because of these performances and their versatility, they are considered strategic instrumentation, with applications in quantum technologies, security, biomedicine, environment or industry, as well as in in astrophysics, cosmology and particle physics, areas in which they have become essential components of next frontier instruments.
