Partie centrale d'un circuit imprimé qui servira de base à un microcircuit à atomes. Des fils supraconducteurs vont être collés au fond des tranchées gravées dans le substrat. Les champs magnétiques créés par ces fils vont permettre de piéger les atomes à environ 100 µm de la surface au niveau de la barre centrale que l'on voit sur l'image.

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
