法国科研机构推出新型量子计算平台，旨在降低技术门槛
法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）旗下的著名基础物理研究机构——奈尔研究所（Institut Néel），近日正式推出其自主研发的量子计算平台。此举标志着该研究所在将前沿量子研究成果转化为可访问技术方面迈出了关键一步。
该平台的核心目标是降低量子计算技术的使用门槛，使其不仅服务于顶尖学术团队，也能惠及更广泛的工业研发部门及创新型中小企业。平台预计将提供基于不同物理体系（如超导电路、离子阱等）的量子处理器访问，并配套相应的软件工具链和云接入服务。
此举的背景是欧洲正积极寻求在量子技术领域建立自主能力，减少对外部技术供应的依赖。奈尔研究所凭借其在低温物理、材料科学和量子器件方面的长期积累，其平台有望为法国乃至欧洲的量子生态系统提供重要的基础研发设施。
业界专家指出，该平台的推出可能改变本地量子计算资源的获取方式，从长期来看，有助于培育本土应用生态和人才。具体服务细节、访问模式及定价策略尚未完全公开，但已引起相关领域企业和研究团队的密切关注。
Neel Institute Announces 2024 Prize Recipients
The Neel Institute (CNRS) in Grenoble has awarded its annual prizes to early-career researchers in condensed matter physics and related engineering fields. The awards recognize outstanding doctoral theses defended in 2023.
The Prix Neel was awarded to Dr. Ulysse Delmer for his thesis, “*Quantum simulation with ultracold atoms in an artificial gauge field*,” completed at the Institut d’Optique Graduate School (LP2N, IOGS, CNRS, Université de Bordeaux). His experimental work with Bose-Einstein condensates successfully engineered synthetic magnetic fields to simulate and probe quantum Hall physics.
The Prix Louis Néel was awarded to Dr. Ilaria Maccari for her thesis, “*Magnetism and superconductivity in two-dimensional materials probed by scanning tunneling microscopy*,” completed at the Neel Institute (CNRS). Her research utilized advanced scanning probe techniques at ultra-low temperatures to investigate magnetic and superconducting states in atomically thin materials like chromium telluride and niobium diselenide heterostructures.
Each prize is accompanied by a €3,000 award. The selection committee, chaired by Institut Neel Director Anaïs Raoux, emphasized the exceptional quality, clarity, and potential impact of the winning work in pushing the frontiers of quantum matter research.
The Neel Institute prizes, named for Nobel laureate Louis Néel, founder of the Grenoble magnetism laboratory, are a benchmark for excellence in French fundamental and applied physics research.
