From June 23 to 25, 2025, the 13th edition of the workshop took place, bringing together international experts and interested parties in the design of superconducting electronic integrated circuits. Superconducting circuits represent the only solid-state technology that simultaneously enables high-speed (currently up to 60 GHz) and low-power (currently only 10–20 mW) microelectronic chips. Due to their energy efficiency combined with very high operating speeds, these technologies are particularly relevant in the era of artificial intelligence and its associated demand for resources. Advancing such alternatives quickly from the research stage to practical demonstrators and systemic prototypes contributes significantly to sustainability.
Moreover, these circuits are ideally suited for applications in quantum computing and quantum sensing systems. The demand for research in this area is high, and exchanges across continents help focus work and facilitate learning from best practices.
As is customary at this long-established event, the first day was dedicated to introducing the fundamentals of superconducting circuit technology—tailored to the educational background of graduates in electrical engineering or physics. On the second and third days, participants exchanged experiences on the current state of research and implementation, as well as strategies to achieve these results.
A new feature this year was the increased participation of representatives from industry, reflecting the growing interest in quantum technologies since 2021.
Since the current state of quantum computing relies heavily on the use of superconducting qubits, superconducting microelectronic circuits are highly regarded candidates for system integration.
