The EQUIP project wins the DIM Quantip mid-scale call for proposals
A consortium composed of teams from LKB, INSP and LPENS, lead by Thibaut Jacqmin, has been selected as a laureate of the DIM Quantip mid-scale call for proposals. The EQUIP project (Etching Platform for Quantum Technologies in Paris) will enable the acquisition of an ICP-type plasma etching system.
This funding will complement the support from the PEPR Électronique program and from the Sorbonne Université platform call for proposals. Among other things, this equipment will be used to fabricate micro- and nano-mechanical resonators for quantum technologies.

Resonant coupling between a superconducting qubit and a macroscopic membrane
The Superconducting circuits and mechanical resonators team has demonstrated resonant coupling between a superconducting qubit and a macroscopic membrane oscillating at a few MHz. They track its quantum motion with ~300 repeated interactions. They demonstrate back-action and probe non-commuting operators.
Pushing the limits of superinductors with vertically‑stacked Josephson junctions
The Superconducting circuits and mechanical resonators team has demonstrated new designs of high-impedance hyper-inductors. We open a scalable path to high impedance hyperinductors for exotic protected qubits.
