Micromechanics Conference, February 2025, Obergurgl
The SuperMeQ project is pleased to announce the International Conference on Micromechanics 2025, taking place in Obergurgl (Austria) on February 2-7, 2025.
The conference is organized by Gerhard Kirchmair (IQOQI Innsbruck), Witlef Wieczorek (Chalmers University), Michael Trupke and Markus Aspelmeyer (University of Vienna), Hans Huebl (Walther Meißner Institute Munich), Anja Metelmann (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) and Carles Navau (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona).
The conference focuses on the recent progress in the field of quantum-micromechanics with a special focus on levitated systems and circuit QED implementations. Levitated systems allow for extremely high mechanical Q factors while circuit QED systems provide large coupling strength between the mechanics and the resonator. Combining both of these approaches open the door towards controlling the quantum state of the mechanical system.

SuperMeQ partners met in Vienna
The 3rd SuperMeQ consortium meeting took place on 27-29 November 2024 in Vienna.
The SuperMeQ partners met at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information for three days filled with insightful discussions, idea exchanges, and plenty of opportunities to reconnect and collaborate. The updates from the project’s partners were complemented by inspiring presentations from guest speakers Salambô Dago (University of Vienna), Daniel Platz (TU Wien), Nicolas Díaz Naufal (Freie Universität Berlin) and Markus Arndt (University of Vienna).
The partners will meet again in February at the International Conference on Micromechanics while the next project’s meeting will take place in Munich on 6-8 October 2025.
2nd Consortium Meeting on 19-21 September 2023
The 2nd SuperMeQ consortium meeting took place 19-21 September 2023 at Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden.
We had three very inspiring days of scientific discussions and knowledge exchange between the SuperMeQ members. We complemented our internal program with presentations from the Chalmers researchers Giovanna Tancredi and Giulia Ferrini who informed us about activities in the field of Quantum Computing, WACQT and OpenSuperQ+. Furthermore, we invited Maria Saline, who is the leader of GENIE at Chalmers, to present the activities of Chalmers in the important topic of EDI. Our members of the External Advisory Board (Archana Kamal, John Davis) and our Associated Academic Partner (Mathieu Juan) joined presentations remotely and gave us very positive feedback about our research activities.
We already look very much forward to the next annual meeting that is going to take place 27-29 November 2024 in Vienna.
Open House day for Physics at OEAW on 23 February 2023
400 students visited the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and could see – among other things – the superconducting magnetic levitation train in action, presented as part of the work in the SuperMeQ project.
Project kick-off meeting 10 and 11 November 2022
SuperMeQs kick-off meeting has taken place at UAB campus in Barcelona, hosted by Carles 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!
