Fraunhofer IAF receives €10 million from state and federal governments for new research building
12/21/2021 - More space for research on quantum technologies
At Fraunhofer IAF diamond samples with NV centers are characterized in order to optimize them for quantum magnetometry applications.
Cryogenic measurement station at Fraunhofer IAF used in quantum computing research to characterize wafers at extremely low temperatures.
New research building for quantum technologies
The new building will create urgently needed workplaces for scientists researching and developing in the field of quantum technologies. Based on materials such as diamond and SiC, Fraunhofer IAF researches components and systems for applications in quantum sensing and quantum computing.
The researchers also advance the system integration of the components and develop hardware and software solutions for second-generation quantum systems. To broaden the fields of application and facilitate the integration of quantum systems into industrial processes, Fraunhofer IAF is also working on optimizing quantum computers and quantum sensors for applications in quantum chemistry, logistics and medical technology.
