How a swim helped launch one of Europe’s fast-moving quantum start-ups

How a swim helped launch one of Europe’s fast-moving quantum start-ups

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.
