macQsimal researchers at ICFO, Charikleia Troullinou, Ricardo Jiménez-Martínez, and Vito Giovanni Lucivero, led by Prof. Morgan Mitchell, showed experimentally that extra-quiet light can make a sensitive magnetometer even more sensitive. Precise detection of magnetic fields is important for applications that range from magnetic brain imaging to the detection of sunken ships. For many of these … Read more

The event will highlight all of the most prominent and recent advances in European and international quantum technology activities across basic sciences, communication, computing, simulation and … Read more
One of the objectives of the EU-funded projects is to increase the outreach for science and innovation. One of the means that has become a popular tool for communicating science to the general public is video. The macQsimal team is developing a series of videos that will not only present the project objectives, results and … Read more
The Workshop on Optically Pumped Magnetometers (WOPM) is an annual conference covering topics related to OPM technology. This year the event will be held in a hybrid form allowing participants to meet in person in Berlin, Glasgow and Jena. The local WOPM meeting in Jena, Germany will take place on both days 4th and 5th of October … Read more

The Jury selected the three best performances from each institution for the Swiss final. macQsimal collaborator, PhD student, Etienne Batori, won the 1st price of the UniNE … Read more
The Hot Vapor Workshop, organised by the University of Stuttgart in collaboration with macQsimal was the expected highlight of this spring. The event on 22-24 March 2021 was the second edition of this conference, which is intended to become a series with a two-year frequency. It attracted a large audience from the global hot atomic … Read more
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
