Cryonext, un programme grand froid pour les technologies quantiques
法国2030计划下的"低温量子技术"项目（Cryonext）于10月8日在格勒诺布尔正式启动，由法国原子能和替代能源委员会（CEA）与国家科学研究中心（CNRS）主导，汇聚了低温技术与量子技术领域的学术及工业合作伙伴。
该项目核心目标是开发面向未来量子技术的高性能低温系统。量子计算机、量子传感器等前沿设备需在接近绝对零度的极低温环境下运行，当前低温技术的性能与可靠性已成为制约量子技术规模化应用的关键瓶颈。Cryonext计划通过跨学科协作，推动低温工程领域的突破性创新，为法国及欧洲量子产业链奠定基础。
启动仪式标志着法国在量子战略布局上迈出重要一步。该项目将整合国内顶尖科研机构与企业的研发能力，重点攻关低温冷却效率、系统稳定性、集成化等核心技术难题，旨在提升法国在量子科技基础设施领域的自主创新能力与国际竞争力。
France Launches Cryonext Program to Develop Cryogenic Systems for Quantum Technologies
On October 8 in Grenoble, the French government, through its France 2030 investment plan, officially launched the Cryonext program. The initiative is jointly led by the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) and the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), with participation from a consortium of academic and industrial partners in the cryogenics and quantum technology ecosystems.
The core objective of Cryonext is to develop high-performance cryogenic systems essential for powering future quantum technologies. Quantum computers, simulators, and sensors typically require operating temperatures near absolute zero to function, creating a critical dependency on advanced cooling infrastructure. The program aims to build a sovereign French and European industrial capability in this foundational domain, reducing reliance on foreign suppliers.
The launch event underscored the strategic importance of cryogenics as an enabling technology. By fostering collaboration between research institutions and industry, Cryonext seeks to accelerate innovation in ultra-low temperature refrigeration, addressing a key bottleneck in the scalability and commercialization of quantum devices.
Piloté par le CEA et le CNRS, le programme France 2030 Cryonext a été lancé le 08 octobre à Grenoble en présence des partenaires académiques et industriels des écosystèmes de la cryogénie et du quantique. Enjeu : développer les systèmes cryogéniques haute performance pour les technologies quantiques du futur.
France 2030 launched Cryonext in Grenoble to advance high-performance cryogenic systems for future quantum technologies, which matters because cryogenics is a critical enabler for scalable quantum hardware.
