The Qu-pilot and Qu-test projects are hosted by AMIRES to support experimental production capabilities and open testing for quantum technologies in Europe. This follows a recent move to consolidate development of neutral ion Rydberg systems: Europe consolidates its Rydberg quantum computer
The Qu-Pilot consists of 21 partners from nine different countries aiming to develop and provide access to the first, federated European fabrication capabilities for quantum technologies, building on and linking together existing infrastructures in Europe. This includes VTT in Finland, Fraunhofer in Germany and imec in Belgium as well as Infineon in Germany.
This is the first stage of the capability innovation roadmap for providing experimental pilot production capabilities and a roadmap for transferring such capabilities to an industrial production environment. It will provide experimental production capabilities for quantum technologies in computing, communication and /or sensing through thirteen service-provider organizations available to users, including industry, in particular SMEs and contribute to developing European standards in the field.
Fraunhofer IPMS contributes its expertise in state-of-the-art, industry-compatible CMOS semiconductor fabrication in 300 mm wafer standard.
