macQsimal is looking forward to one of its highlights of the year, a three-day workshop all about the science and technology of hot atomic vapors, taking place from 22-24 March 2021. The research and the spectroscopy of hot atomic vapors carries great potential for robust applications and quantum technology. Their spectroscopy has lost some attention … Read more
Quantum Technologies are in the blooming era. Everyone talks about it. We are in the midst of a second quantum revolution unfolding, in which we are trying to exploit our ability to understand, detect and manipulate objects at the microscopic level, in the regime of single quantum objects. We are all aware that quantum physics … Read more
Earlier this year, Jacques Haesler, Senior Project Manager at CSEM and Coordinator of macQsimal and Serge Grop, R&D Manager at macQsimal partner Orolia Switzerland served as speakers at the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC) meeting on atomic clocks and quantum sensors. The presentation slides, a video of the entire event as well as a list … Read more
The contributions to the Quantum Industry Day 2020, including the presentations of macQsimal researcher Sylvain Karlen (Session D – Quantum Sensors – Part 1), macQsimal coordinator Jacques Haesler (Quantum Sensing @CSEM) and Dr Thomas Strohm, coordinator of Quantum Technologies at macQsimal partner BOSCH, (Quantum sensors – challenges and opportunities) have been recorded and published. Further … Read more
The Workshop on optically pumped Magnetometers (WOPM) is an annually held conference covering topics related to OPM technology. This year’s event was planned to be a side-conference of the Biomag 2020. However, as an outcome of the current situation, both events have been postponed to 2021. In order to enable researchers to present their latest … Read more
Riccardo Cipolletti, researcher at macQsimal beneficiary BOSCH, has been selected as one of the 7 poster prize winners at the 1st ZULF conference. The online conference on zero and ultra-low fields NMR took place on 1-4 September 2020 and the associated virtual poster session was held on Twitter. The conference addressed students and postdocs as … Read more
The European Quantum Week is an online multi-modular event that will run parallel to the Berlin Science Week from November 2-6, 2020. Organized by the European Quantum Flagship, with the collaboration of the European Commission and the Quantum Industry Consortium, it will include outreach activities for the general public, specialized talks and presentations for the quantum community as … Read more
Silicon Republic is a well-known online resource for science and technology news based in Ireland. The platform recently published an interview with Professor Alice Sinatra of macQsimal partner CNRS, which illustrates her professional development and discusses her current research including its relevance for the scientific community. Read the interview on siliconrepublic.com.
The Quantum Industry Day gathers academic and industrial R&D to foster exchange and accelerate the development of new quantum products. Like in the previous editions in 2018 and 2019, macQsimal will be prominently represented. Sylvain Karlen will speak about the prototypes developed in macQsimal and another highlight of the event will presumably be the presentation … Read more
During the last few months, several papers from macQsimal researchers have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. One highlight is the paper by Jia Kong and co-workers (ICFO) in Nature Communications. In this work, they show that entanglement between atoms, a fundamental feature of quantum technologies, might be more stable than expected. Their results show … Read more
