Quantum Thermodynamics of Precision in Electronic Device

We are an EU-funded consortium of scientists investigating the thermodynamics of precision measurement using quantum systems. Spanning five European countries, our partners collaborate to identify fundamental limits and reveal new design principles for energy-efficient and precise quantum measuring devices.

Introducing

Our new children’s book

“Quantum Quest” is authored by Mark Mitchison, Khalak Mahadeviya & Saulo Moreira & illustrated by Brigid Sweeney.

This educational resource was produced in collaboration with Fighting Words and Amber Research Centre

In the autumn of 1967, eleven-year-old twins Alice and Bob are invited to Paris by their Uncle Pierre, a curator at the Marie Curie Museum. After tinkering with a mysterious clock, the twins find themselves transported to the Quantum World, where they experience bizarre phenomena like walking through walls and shape-shifting. They are guided by a talking cat. Despite warnings, the twins’ curiosity gets the better of them. Discover how Alice and Bob save themselves from danger and unlock a few quantum mysteries along the way.

In 2023 and 2024, research experts that had convened in Austria for two Machine Learning and Quantum Physics Workshops set out to draft the

'Machine Learning in Quantum Science Manifesto,' 

aimed at raising awareness among European policymakers about the growing synergy between machine learning and quantum science and technologies. This intersection can boost quantum research, drive advancements in QT, and introduce new approaches to fundamental physics. To unlock its potential, significant investment in both fundamental and applied research is crucial.The manifesto calls for European funding to support this intersection, as a foundation for future key technologies. To support the cause, sign the petition below.

The burgeoning quantum technology revolution promises a paradigm shift in the way that we generate, process, and communicate information. Technologies such as quantum computation and quantum sensing are enabled by our ability to control and measure quantum systems with exquisite precision. Such precise measurement and control consume power, meaning that the large-scale deployment of quantum technologies will come at an increasingly large energetic and environmental cost. It is therefore vitally important to develop more energy-efficient devices for precise quantum measurement that can operate at the nanoscale.
