QuantumCAT
This is an alliance to boost emerging entities in quantum technologies in Catalonia.
Quantum technologies make use of the exceptional properties of quantum physics (the theory that defines the behavior of matter at the subatomic scale) with the aim of providing unprecedented capabilities in today's information society.
Lately, these technologies are evolving from mere theoretical possibilities to real solutions applied in emerging fields such as internet security or non-invasive brain monitoring.
Coordinating entity:
Institute of Photonic Sciences Foundation
The action is structured into four projects:
- Quantum communication. Construction and implementation of stronger and faster cryptographic protocols, demonstration of memories in real environments for long-distance quantum communication, and improvement of theoretical tools to achieve the overall goal.
- Quantum computing. Developing a cloud platform that allows remote users to access a variational and programmable quantum processor.
- Quantum simulation: QUASI-CAT. Transforming quantum simulators into accessible and marketable quantum technology.
- Quantum sensors. Developing the experimental and theoretical methods suitable to enable the use of ultra-precise atomic sensors in marketable products. Mainly in biomedical applications of magnetoencephalography (MEG) and replacing the huge and expensive nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices with portable and low-cost equipment.
This project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union under the FEDER Operational Program of Catalonia 2014-2020 with a grant of €1,984,830.61.
