Research Lines

The Quantum Hardware Group works on the design and development of quantum chips based on silicon technology, a promising alternative to other quantum-computing technologies, as it will take advantage of many years of development, knowledge, and capabilities of an industry –the silicon industry– that is ubiquous nowadays. This technology is also advantageous for miniaturization, since each silicon quantum bit (or qubit) has the size of a few nanometers. Combining the power of quantum computing with the simplicity of silicon represents a promising alternative for the implementation of quantum technologies.

Silicon-based quantum computing

Alternative technology of spins in silicon leverage the very same hardware that is used in standard electronics and forms part of microprocessors, memory devices and telecommunication circuits, i.e. the silicon transistor.

Quantum charge/spin sensing

Quantum sensing of charge and spin using super-semiconductor hybrids

Quantum-dots based microwave devices

QDs for revolutionary new devices for low-power microwave applications.

Academic collaborators

Industrial collaborations

Our group works in close collaboration with the leading quantum computing scale-up company Quantum Motion, a UK-based company dedicated to the development of silicon-based quantum computing hardware.
