SUMMARY:INMA Seminar: Fabien Defrance, from ICN2
DESCRIPTION:Seminar: Superconductivity in Astrophysics and Quantum Technology\nSpeaker: Dr Fabien Defrance (ICN2, Barcelona). Dr Defrance has an extensive research background at the Paris Observatory, Caltech, and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, specialising in superconducting detectors and metamaterial optics.\nWhen and where?\n\nDate: Wednesday, 22 April 2026.\nTime: 12:00.\nVenue: Theoretical Physics Seminar Room (Atomic Physics corridor), Faculty of Sciences, University of Zaragoza.\n\nKey topics:\n\nAstrophysical Technologies: A review of superconducting devices used in astrophysical receivers, with a focus on Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) due to their high sensitivity and frequency multiplexing capabilities.\nNoise Mitigation: Presentation of advancements in characterising and mitigating noise and loss in dielectrics at sub-Kelvin temperatures, which currently limit the performance of superconducting qubits.\nQuantum Transducers: Discussion on how superconducting resonators can be integrated with Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) microdisks to develop microwave-to-optical quantum transducers.\n\nOrganisers: This event is supported by INMA, CSIC, and the University of Zaragoza, under the Severo Ochoa Excellence accreditation.\n \n\nAnnouncing poster\n
