Summer School on Superconducting Electronics 2024 – The 2024 school is intended for students, researchers and engineers who want to familiarize with Superconducting Electronics and with its applications and tools

This school is supported by the FLUXONICS, ESAS and SEFIRA Societies and the IEEE Council on Superconductivity.

- FLUXONICS is a non-profit Society whose goal is to develop Superconductive Electronics in Europe and promote associated technological innovations through Research, Training and Transfer of Knowledge.

- SEFIRA (Superconducting Electronics Front-end InfRAstructure) is a non-profit Society whose goal is to develop Superconductive Electronics in France.

- The field of interest of the IEEE Council on Superconductivity (IEEE CSC) and its activities and programs shall be to cover the science and technology of superconductors and their applications, including materials and their applications for electronics and power systems, where the superconductor properties are central to the application.

- ESAS brings together scientists and engineers working in applied superconductivity across both industry and academia in Europe. The society most notably organises the biennial European Conference on Applied Superconductivity (EUCAS) but is also involved in a growing range of other activities aimed at promoting the field of applied superconductivity.

The 2024 Summer school on Superconducting Electronics is intended for students, engineers, researchers and newcomers who want to get familiar with Superconducting Electronics and its applications.

It will provide fresh updates on the progress in superconducting electronics, in particular in the context of the many current activities related to quantum information and superconductor-qubit-based developments. Some emphasis will be brought on the control and readout techniques for qubit measurements.

The 2024 school will take place in presence on September 29-October 04, 2024 at the ULIVANTI Residence in Corsica, the Island of Beauty, in France.

The courses of the summer school can be considered by doctoral schools of European Universities. PhD students who require it can ask for a certificate of attendance to this school to obtain ECTS credits from their respective doctoral schools.

Each attendee is asked to make a poster presentation showing her/his current work or interest to create interactions and mutual interests. Special sessions are reserved for a 60-mn oral pitch session where each attendee can shortly present his work to be displayed during the poster sessions.

You can pre-register to the school by following this link.
