Microwave Squeezing with Superconducting (meta)materials

Project description

The future of microwave technology

As quantum technology progresses, a challenge remains in effectively harnessing distributed quantum sensing for practical applications. Traditional sensing methods often fall short in terms of sensitivity and scalability. Also, the quest for technologies that can generate non-classical microwave radiation remains a hurdle. Addressing these issues is crucial for unlocking the full potential of quantum-enhanced sensing techniques. The EU-funded MiSS project aims to innovate new materials and scalable micro-fabrication methods for Travelling Wave Parametric Amplifiers. It will also develop dedicated cryogenic measurement protocols to evaluate radiation quantumness and create a prototype system for multi-parameter sensing applications. MiSS is poised to advance quantum sensing in the microwave regime, paving the way for real-world applications.

Objective

The MiSS project targets transformative progress in the emerging field of distributed quantum sensing exploiting multi-mode microwave squeezing. The final goal is to realise a robust and scalable technology for microwave squeezing and generation of non-classical microwave radiation based on superconducting (meta)materials. The three specific objectives of the MiSS project are: 1) Technological innovation, investigating new material and scalable microfabrication approaches to optimise the building blocks to produce Travelling Wave Parametric Amplifiers-based squeezers; 2) Metrology protocols, developing dedicated cryogenic measurement protocols to accurately evaluate the radiation quantumness, opening the way to standardisation; 3) Realisation of a prototype for real world applications, developing a system with scalability potential for distributed quantum sensing in the microwave regime. A use-case dedicated to multi-parameter sensing for material characterisation will be targeted. The outcomes of this project will pave the way towards real exploitation of quantum-enhanced sensing techniques in the microwave regime. The MiSS consortium brings together a unique set of expertise in design, materials, metrology, fabrication, cryogenic characterisation and commercialisation to be able to deliver on this ambitious goal.
