Carlos Alonso Ramos, CNRS researcher at C2N, has been granted an ERC Consolidator Fellowship for the project SPRING - Silicon opto-electro-mechanics for bridging the gap between photonics and microwaves.
Coherent conversion between microwave and optical photons is a promising solution for transferring quantum states between remote quantum processors, enabling the development of large-scale quantum networks. The SPRING project will demonstrate quantum state transfer between superconducting qubits, monolithically integrated in a silicon chip, opening a new avenue for applications in communications, sensing and computing.
