On October 16th, the CNRS Néel Institute in Grenoble hosted QRYOCONNECT, an exceptional event dedicated to bringing together the worlds of quantum science and cryogenics.
The event was part of the QRYOLink project, a program funded by Bpifrance that aims to develop innovative technological solutions for the control and characterization of quantum devices at very low temperatures.
The name QRYOCONNECT perfectly reflects this ambition: connecting the players from these two fields and strengthening the ties within the QRYOLink platform, where connection — between people, ideas, and technologies — lies at the heart of the project.
The morning began in a friendly atmosphere over coffee, followed by presentations of innovative cryogenic platforms: QRYOLink, QuCube, and the compact dilution cryostat (SionludiXS). These demonstrations offered participants the opportunity to discover unique infrastructures and engage directly with the technical teams.
The guided tours, which were particularly appreciated, led to rich and concrete discussions, further strengthening collaboration between laboratories and industrial partners. The afternoon continued with inspiring use cases, such as the RF interconnectivity solution (Radiall) and the MOCQUA project (LNE).
With nearly fifty participants from academia, industry, and startups, QRYOCONNECT was a highlight of the QRYOLink project, showcasing the vitality and complementarity of the quantum and cryogenic communities.
