“The coming decades will be characterised by a wave of quantum technology based applications, ranging from communication, simulation and sensing, to computation. However, to enable this, the industry will need technical support to adopt and to integrate these new technologies into products and services”, said Jo De Boeck, imec’s CTO, pictured. “Imec’s industry relevant silicon platform for the advanced technology nodes is currently used to screen technology options for the 5nm nodes and beyond. The same platform is hence the ideal basis to start implementing quantum devices as quantum effects are becoming the starting point of developing a quantum platform.”
Imec’s platform, which will help to translate laboratory demonstrators into commercial products, will be open for universities, SMEs and imec’s quantum technologies programme partners.
