Research projects in high level quantum technologies, innovative applications and technological solutions will be jointly developed in the following areas:

• quantum sensors,
• communication and quantum computing,
• the quantum supply chain.

The NAQUIDIS Center, with a budget of €10 million over 4 years and supported by the Institut d’Optique Graduate School, is 50% financed by the New Aquitaine Region. Its actions will be guided by a scientific committee chaired by Alain Aspect and composed of internationally renowned personalities.

For its launch, the NAQUIDIS Center is looking forward to seeing you on Thursday, March 4 at 3:00 pm for a digital event hosted by Philippe Bouyer (CNRS, IOGS), with contributions from the NAQUIDIS Center’s academic and industrial partners, including Vincent Courdec, Deputy Vice-President in charge of development and partnerships at the University of Limoges and head of the LabEx Σ-LIM flagship “Shedding new light on photonics”.

This event is in the news following the announcement on January 21 by the President of the Republic of a national investment plan in quantum technologies.
