Autonomous Quantum Machines

Project funded by Research Council of Finland, grant 369679. Participating organisations named by the source: Aalto University. Funded amount: EUR 2,399,030, as stated by the source. Runs 2026-01-01 to 2031-12-31. Keywords: Physical sciences. Source: OpenAIRE Graph, from the funder's project data (collected by OpenAIRE on 2025-11-06); national funding data, not CORDIS. Abstract given by the source: The Academy Professor project in Autonomous Quantum Machines (AQM) aims to develop quantum systems operating autonomously at millikelvin temperatures. This involves creating highly coherent superconducting circuits, control and readout devices, and millikelvin feedback for autonomous functionality. Drawing on expertise in low-temperature physics, microelectronics, nanofabrication, quantum optics, and theory, the project targets breakthroughs such as an autonomous quantum heat engine and an autonomous quantum processor. These advances aim to eliminate the dependence on room-temperature control for cryogenic devices. Additional goals include enhancing ultrasensitive calorimeters and multiplexing schemes for qubit readout, and developing cryogenic signal generators, routers, and transducers for diverse scientific applications. AQM unlocks large-scale quantum technology such as superconducting quantum computing with applications in security, logistics, materials, and fluid dynamics.
