Quondensate aims to achieve the first proof-of-concept of Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC) scheme based on networks of Quantum Materials (QMs) with defects which will enable the fabrication of prototypical computing devices.
QUONDENSATE was excited to join EQTC 2025!
Europe’s biggest quantum event brought together researchers, industry,and policymakers under the Quantum Flagship.Copenhagen’s quantum heritage made it a fitting setting.
Proud to represent QUONDENSATE and connect with those shaping Europe’s quantum future.

Quondensate partner Quandela recently released MerLin, a new framework for quantum computing and AI which includes a platform for the reproduction of scientific articles. MerLin is a tool in advancing research and benchmarking of quantum algorithms including in particular quantum reservoir computing

Lots of novel ideas were presented at OECS 19 conference and it took long to hear first "Bingo" from audience.
Share the charts with your younger colleagues to make sure they are familiar with the classical concepts in their field. Here for Polaritons, 2D materials and single photon sources :)

After an intense week of discussions, the OECS19 conference concluded with a stimulating discussion about the future of the fields and the next avenues for progress.

We are thankful to Barbara Pietka, Michał Matuszewski, and all the local committee members who made this conference a success.

Our two consortium members, Barbara Pietka and Michał Matuszewski opened the 19th “Optics of Excitons in Confined Systems” (www.OECS19.pl) conference in Warsaw.

Participants will discuss excitons confined in zero and 2D dimensional materials as well as in the form of excitons-porlaritons.

Are you interested in the optical excitations in semiconductors; excitons, polaritons and collective excitations found in photonic nanostructures?

Then come and join us in Warsaw for the 19th International Conference on Optics of Excitons in Confined Systems.

New Quondensate paper
Ultrafast Dynamics of Rydberg Excitons and Their Optically Induced Charged Complexes in Encapsulated WSe2 Monolayers

doi.org/10.1021/acs....

Quantum confinement and reduced dielectric screening lead to strong excitonic effects in atomically thin (TMDs).
Ultrafast Dynamics of Rydberg Excitons and Their Optically Induced Charged Complexes in Encapsulated WSe2 Monolayers
Quantum confinement and reduced dielectric screening lead to strong excitonic effects in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Encapsulation of TMD monolayers in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) unveils the excitonic Rydberg series below the free particle bandgap. The nonequilibrium response and the dynamics of these higher order exciton states and their multiparticle complexes remain almost unexplored. Here we use ultrafast pump–probe optical microscopy to measure the dynamics of excited-state (2s) excitons in hBN-encapsulated monolayer WSe2. 2s excitons form through an ultrafast relaxation process from high-energy states and exhibit longer decay dynamics than ground state excitons due to their higher spatial extension. We detect light-induced formation of 2s trions with significant oscillator strength and faster decay dynamics than 2s excitons, attributed to an intra-excitonic Auger effect causing an additional decay channel. Our results shed light on the dynamics of excited state excitons in TMDs and their interactions with free carriers.
