National Initiatives

• ANR project GEARED: This four-year collaborative ANR project, entitled “Reservoir engineering quantum entanglement in the microwave domain” and coordinated by Mazyar Mirrahimi, started on October 2014 and ended on September 2018. The participants of the project were Mazyar Mirrahimi (QUANTIC project-team), Benjamin Huard (ENS Lyon), Daniel Esteve and Fabien Portier (Quantronics group, CEA Saclay), Nicolas Roch and Olivier Buisson (Institut Neel, Grenoble). This project deals with robust generation of entanglement as a key resource for quantum information processing (quantum simulation, computation and communication). QUANTIC receieved a funding of 114k in this framework.

• ANR project ENDURANCE: In the framework of the ANR program “Accueil de chercheur de haut niveau”, Zaki Leghtas has received a funding for his research program "Multi-photon processes in superconducting circuits for quantum error correction". This grant of 400k euros has allowed us to purchase the experimental equipment to build a new experiment based at ENS. The project started in March 2016 for 42 months.

• ANR project HAMROQS: In the framework of the ANR program JCJC, Alain Sarlette has received a funding for his research program "High-accuracy model reduction for open quantum systems". This grant of 212k euros will start on april 2019 and will run for 4 years.
