Objective This project seeks to establish a radically new technology platform for experiments in macroscopic quantum physics and forquantum enabled sensing. We exploit magnetic coupling between superconducting quantum circuits and superconductingmechanical resonators – both levitated and suspended – to enter a hitherto inaccessible parameter regime of bothunprecedented force sensitivity and full quantum control of massive, macroscopic objects. Our approach combines, in a newway, techniques from different research areas (magnetic levitation, superconducting circuits, atom-chip technology, cavityoptomechanics and quantum optics) and is set up as a joint collaborative effort between expert European teams fromacademia and industry. Our technology will enable quantum experiments of otherwise unachievable coherence times andmasses, which has immediate implications for testing fundamental physical questions, for performing hybrid quantuminformation processing and, on the applied side, for ultrasensitive force sensing applications.
