Silent Waves

Silent Waves was founded by Luca Planat, Nicolas Roch, and Baptiste Planat as a spin-off from the Institut Néel (CNRS), one of Europe’s leading centers for superconductivity, quantum electronics, and cryogenics.Building on more than a decade of fundamental research, our team combines deep scientific expertise with the practical engineering required to deliver reliable, production-ready quantum readout solutions. Today, Silent Waves brings together physicists and engineers specialized in microwave design, superconducting circuits, and cryogenic integration, united by a mission to provide the most advanced ultra-low-noise amplifiers for quantum systems.Based in Grenoble, France, we are embedded in a unique ecosystem that includes the Université Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, and world-class nanofabrication and cryogenic facilities. By working closely with local universities and research institutes, we ensure a constant flow of cutting-edge ideas, talent, and infrastructure into our development process. This positioning enables Silent Waves to move faster than traditional hardware suppliers—translating academic breakthroughs into scalable, high-performance amplifiers trusted by leading quantum computing companies worldwide.
