Project description
2D circulators for scalable quantum technologies
The growing adoption of quantum technologies is driving innovations with the potential to revolutionise computing and other scientific fields. One key component is the circulator, essential for reading superconducting qubits and enabling next-generation quantum systems. Supported by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the Q-WAVE project aims to transform bulky 3D cryogenic circulators into compact, 2D versions that work without permanent magnets. This shift will enable on-chip integration closer to quantum processors, boosting scalability and reducing the need for critical raw materials. The project will also explore new physics by combining quantum magnonics and superconducting circuits into hybrid systems.
Objective
The circulator, a cornerstone in communication and radar engineering, has gained importance in quantum technologies, becoming essential for reading out superconducting qubits. Q-Wave (Hybrid Quantum Wave Circulation) aims to transform current 3D cryogenic circulators into 2D devices, free of permanent magnets.
This new generation of circulators can be integrated on-chip, close to the quantum processor, therefore contributing to the scalability of superconducting quantum computers. The realization of such devices would mean an important reduction of the volume of critical raw materials or less efficient alternative solutions, in agreement with the objectives of the European Green Deal and the Sustainable Development Goals.
Q-Wave’s sub-goals are: O1) design tuneable superconducting (SC) resonators; O2) study magnon-photon interactions in magnetic vortices; O3) develop on-chip circulators compatible with magnetic field operation; O4) develop self-biased on-chip circulators without external magnetic field compatible with SC circuits. For that, the project combines complementary unique abilities in hybrid systems (Associated Partner, AP, EPFL, Switzerland); quantum magnonics (Host Institution, HI, CSIC, Spain); CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) and SC circuits (fellow) and classic magnonics (secondment, University of Vienna, Austria).
