Previous sub-THz receivers were either energy-consuming or bulky, and not suitable for on-chip integration.
The current approach, in contrast, simultaneously meets all the requirements that future 6G technologies must satisfy.

#QuantumCARLA Networking session is on!
You can meet with ICFO’s and #CATQuantumAcademy teams and discover job opportunities in #quantum 💼
⚛️ Sergi Ferrando Margalet (ICFO) presents on photonic chips, PIXEurope and their role in advancing quantum technologies.
@icfo.eu
#ICFOnians Dr. Luis Trigo and ICREA Prof. Morgan Mitchell took part in the panel on academic careers in quantum.
Welcome everyone to the Quantum Careers Symposium! 🙌
📝ICFO researchers have theoretically proposed a new method that uses molecules and light to study exotic states of matter in which several quantum effects, such as non-local interactions and geometric frustration, can emerge.

I ara si, per fi ha arribat el moment! 🎉
Comença la sessió de pòsters del Young Photonics Congress. El moment en què els i les participants podeu compartir la vostra recerca amb la comunitat científica de l'ICFO.
#YPC26
L'associació d'estudiants d'ICONS participa al Young Photonics Congress!
Han dinamitzat una activitat amb voluntaris sobre com interaccionen els fotons i els àtoms.
Ja portem més de 10 edicions del Young Photonics Congress! 🥳
Enguany hem convidat al Nicolás, el Jordi i la Carla, antics participants del YPC perquè comparteixin consells de com aprofitar el congrés al màxim!
Arriba el torn de les Flash Talks d'#ICFOnians! 💡Quina recerca fan els investigadors i investigadores de l'ICFO?
El Gustavo, la Martina i la Núria comparteixen les seves experiències i responen a les preguntes dels estudiants.
Benvinguts i benvingudes al Young Photonics Congress! 🙌
Comença el congrés científic on els joves sou els protagonistes.
