Superconducting quantum devices are poised to play a central role in the near future for both sensing and computing. Their unique properties—such as low dissipation, high coherence, and compatibility with scalable fabrication—make them ideal platforms for quantum technologies. From quantum computers capable of solving classically intractable problems to ultra-sensitive sensors for detecting minute magnetic fields or single photons, superconducting circuits are at the heart of the quantum revolution.
The school Emerging Superconducting Technologies for Quantum Sensing and Computing offers an in-depth exploration of these rapidly advancing technologies. Participants will engage with leading experts to learn about superconducting qubits, parametric amplifiers, and quantum circuits more broadly, approaching the topics from both theoretical and experimental perspectives.
Key goals of the school are to highlight the synergy between quantum sensing and computing—two fields that share common tools and physical principles—and to showcase their applications across a wide range of domains, from particle physics to nuclear physics, as well as condensed matter physics, quantum chemistry, and materials science. By fostering dialogue across disciplines, the event enables students to gain a broad and coherent understanding of the landscape, preparing them to contribute to future breakthroughs in quantum science and engineering.

Applications for the ECT* DTP 2026 should be submitted electronically via the webform.
Application should include:
- Curriculum vitae
- Description of academic and scientific achievements
- Short letter expressing the applicant’s personal motivation for participating in the programme
In addition, a reference letter from the candidate’s supervisor, addressed to “Prof. Ubirajara van Kolck, Director of ECT*”, should be sent by email to –
Students are welcome to arrive on June 21st. The checkout time is fixed on July 4th.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
The application collection will end on April 17, when registration closes. Applicants will be notified of the selection results within the next two weeks.
A committee composed of the scientific Organizers and the Director of ECT* will select participants.
The selection criteria will cover both formal and merit aspects:
- compliance with the submission date
- completeness of the required documentation
- evaluation of merit measured on the basis of the CV, documented scientific achievements, and a letter of support
In order to promote the participation from under-represented groups in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas, ECT* may provide modular scholarships as a contribution to facilitate the attendance of selected candidates.
An additional requirement for this possible subsequent selection will be the consideration of participants based in underrepresented countries and with a certifiable lack of access to research funds at affiliating institutions.
PhD students and ECRs based in Trento are allowed to apply for DTP programs but are not eligible for financial support.
