QTlab Unina

OUR RESEARCH

Our group’s research focuses on the superconduting quantum technologies that works for Quantum Computing and Quantum Communication. These quantum technologies are based on superconducting nanostructures, superconducting parametric amplifiers,  hybrid and unconventional qubits based on ferromagnetic and cuprate twisted Josephson junctions. The use of modern state-of-the-art ultra-low temperature quantum control techniques, device fabrication techniques and the development of new methods of material synthesis, manipulation, and characterization are essential parts of this research.

Research Activities

Quantum Computation

Since 2019, when we have measured for the first time a superconducting transmon qubit in Italy, the field of superconducting quantum computing (QC) in Italy and in our group has notably grown.

Quantum Communication

Our group is involved in the Italian Quantum Backbone (IQB), which connects the node at the CNR Pozzuoli with the Meditech Competence Center, Campus S. Giovanni of the University of Naples, and the Department of Physics E. Pancini of the University of Naples Federico II.

Superconducting Nanodevices

Our group benefits from a fully equipped nanofabrication center that enables the in-house realization of superconducting devices.

Superconducting Quantum Materials

The first cuprate-based twisted high-temperature superconducting heterostructures in Europe were developed in our group at the Superpuddles Lab.

Dissemination

We aim to inspire the next wave of quantum physicists and engineers and enhance the accessibility of our research and technology through outreach and engagement initiatives. Our group maintains a culture of public outreach and engagement, with students, researchers, academics and collaborators. Through a series of outreach and dissemination events we have engaged with people of all ages who are interested in learning more about quantum technologies.
