Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology, Concord, Mass., has joined the Quantum Foundry at the University of California Santa Barbara to further develop quantum technology materials.
The Quantum Foundry at UC Santa Barbara is a next-generation materials foundry that develops materials and interfaces hosting the coherent quantum states needed to power the coming age of quantum-based electronics. The mission of the Foundry is to develop materials hosting unprecedented quantum coherence, train the next generation quantum workforce, and to partner with industry to accelerate the development of quantum technologies.
Dr Ravi Sundaram, Head of Strategic R&D Markets, Oxford Instruments, commented, “We are committed to providing market leading quantum technology solutions to our customers, and partnering with the Quantum Foundry will ensure we continue to be at the forefront of this developing technology.”
According to Dr Tal Margalith, Executive Director of Technology and Industrial Liaison, UCSB Quantum Foundry, “(Oxford Instruments) cutting edge, robust processing solutions tailored for quantum technology device fabrication will help ensure that there is an executable roadmap from academic discovery to commercial applications.”
Oxford Instruments continues to develop and support market-leading nano-fabrication solutions vital to the manufacture of several quantum device platforms, including superconducting qubits (ALD, Plasma etch), Diamond NV Centers (plasma etch, hard mask deposition), and integrated photonics-based qubits (waveguide etch, single photon detector layers etc.).
