It was in a swimming pool that Massimo Caccia, an Italian physicist, first got the idea that would lead to what is now one of Europe’s promising new quantum electronics start-ups.
At the time, he was struggling with some pesky quantum “noise” that kept disrupting the output of photon detectors he had been working with at the CERN particle accelerator near Geneva.
The ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference concluded successfully, highlighting the remarkable progress of the 36 projects funded under ATTRACT phase 2. Held in Grenoble, France, the event brought together researchers, students, and professors providing a platform for sharing their potential and envisioning future developments.
The ATTRACT Pre-Final Conference, held at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France, was a crucial event for ATTRACT phase 2. It brought together a large community of researchers and innovators to explore technological advancements with the potential to address critical societal challenges and push the boundaries of scientific discovery. Specifically, it provided an excellent opportunity for the 18 R&D&I-funded projects to showcase their progress and potential impact.
