DESCRIPTION:Dr Mikko Möttönen\, Aalto University\nAbstract: Supercondu
 ctivity was discovered a century ago and yet has found its way to many tec
 hnological applications ranging from brain imaging to studies of the cosmi
 c microwave background. However\, the most revolutionary applications are 
 at the horizon and will be provided by the rise of quantum technology. For
  example\, the superconducting quantum computer has great potential to bec
 ome a useful computational device. I will discuss the recent developments 
 of the Quantum Computing and Devices group at Aalto University in this fie
 ld. Namely\, I will present a nanobolometer with an order of magnitude low
 er noise compared with the present state of the art. Furthermore\, I prese
 nt a quantum-circuit refrigerator that can be used to directly cool down s
 uperconducting electric circuits at will. Finally\, I show our plans in im
 proving and applying the bolometer and the refrigerator. Importantly\, we 
 plan to build a superconducting quantum computer with integrated cooling e
 lements for fast and accurate qubit initialization.
