SuperMeQ presented results on its levitation platform at the APS March meeting in Las Vegas: Towards quantum magnetomechanics – chip-based magnetic levitation of a superconducting microsphere at session B66: DAMOP: Hybrid Quantum Systems I.
Cool with a nonlinear cavity
The OEAW Innsbruck team together with the team from KIT have demonstrated a new way of cooling mechanical motion. This novel method exploits the nonlinearity of a superconducting flux-tunable microcavity, which is coupled to the motion of a mechanical cantilever. By driving the cavity in the nonlinear regime, enhanced cooling of the center-of-mass motion was demonstrated. All the details can be read here, with a synopsis here and a news article here. Congrats to the OEAW Innsbruck and KIT teams for this excellent work!

Project kick-off meeting 10 and 11 November 2022
SuperMeQs kick-off meeting has taken place at UAB campus in Barcelona, hosted by Carles Navau Ros and Àlvar Sánchez Moreno from SuperMeQ’s UAB node. We had two days full of presentations, discussions and getting together. This was a great way to kick start the project!
SuperMeQ started 1 October 2022
We are excited to share that our Horizon Europe project SuperMeQ started 1 October 2022. It is a collaboration between Chalmers University of Technology (Gothenburg, Sweden), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (in Vienna and Innsbruck, Austria), the Walther Meissner Institute (Garching, Germany), Universidad Autonoma de Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain) and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Karlsruhe, Germany).
