Agreed and Aligned: Our Path to Collaboration

The development of the Consortium Agreement (CA) was a milestone moment in the formation of our international collaboration. As one partner aptly put it during one of our many calls, “Can we just align so we can start working already?” That sense of eagerness captured the spirit of the group: motivated, committed, and ready to begin. Still, before diving into the work, we needed to build a clear and fair framework. Through a series of online meetings, legal reviews, and partner negotiations, the agreement was shaped to ensure clarity, shared understanding, and operational efficiency. The CA now serves as the cornerstone for how the consortium will collaborate throughout the duration of the project.

Exciting News: Project Launch Imminent!

We are thrilled to announce the forthcoming launch of our groundbreaking project! Our research aims to explore a wide array of cutting-edge fields, including microwave engineering, photonic integrated circuits, quantum optomechanics, material science, superconducting circuits, and quantum measurement.

This exciting initiative is part of the collaborative CIELO consortium, which unites seven distinguished partners: the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Technische Universiteit Delft (TUD), SilOriX GmbH (SIL), IBM Research GmbH (IBM), and Luxtelligence S.A. (LXT). Together, each partner brings their unique expertise to advance the frontiers of quantum technology. Our collective efforts are focused on developing electro-optic interconnects for coherent quantum information transfer, aiming to enable scalable, modular quantum processors.

Stay tuned for more updates as we work together to embark on this exciting journey!
