Quanten4KMU — Infra­struc­ture Platform for Quantum Sensing

The project aims to expand the techni­cal founda­tions for the devel­op­ment of quantum sensors within the QSens cluster by provid­ing shared infra­struc­ture and equip­ment. Build­ing on the first funding phase, a cryostat for quantum microscopy and a system for print­ing micro-optical elements are to be procured. These devices will enhance the optical periph­ery of NV centers and enable new types of quantum microscopes.

The techno­log­i­cal focus is on the integra­tion of novel materi­als and manufac­tur­ing technolo­gies required for practi­cal quantum technolo­gies. Key activ­i­ties include micro- and nanos­truc­tur­ing, opera­tion of special­ized measure­ment labora­to­ries, and techno­log­i­cal consult­ing for the imple­men­ta­tion of quantum sensors. In addition, access to these technolo­gies and facil­i­ties is being organized for all cluster partners.

The project strength­ens the research and innova­tion capabil­i­ties of SMEs by provid­ing them access to advanced infra­struc­ture in the field of quantum technolo­gies. This shared environ­ment supports the devel­op­ment of scalable and high-performance quantum sensors and measure­ment systems.

The project provides high-quality labora­tory infra­struc­ture, includ­ing cryogenic and optical systems, for all QSens partners. The knowl­edge gained and techno­log­i­cal advance­ments are lever­aged through patents, publi­ca­tions, or direct appli­ca­tion in cluster projects, ensur­ing sustain­able benefits.
