QUES2T provides businesses and researchers access to advanced commercial quantum measurement and fabrication facilities.
At QUES2T businesses and researchers have听access to the key infrastructure听for the manufacture of high-quality solid-state quantum devices, including thin-film growth and advanced patterning.听
Business and researchers can have access to equipment for micro/nano-fabrication, thin-film growth and low-temperature measurement test-beds.听
QUES2T focuses on three of the most promising solid-state QT platforms to date:
- Superconducting circuits: the foundation for the most complex solid-state quantum circuits achieved so far (e.g. Google, IBM, Rigetti, D-wave and UK start-ups like Oxford Quantum Circuits);
- Silicon-based nano-devices with the longest-lived solid-state qubits and offering the powerful prospect of CMOS compatibility for large scale manufacture (e.g. Intel and UK start-ups like Quantum Motion); and
- Carbon-based devices such as colour-centres in diamond that can be optically addressed, operate up to room temperature and act as atomic scale sensors.
However, our equipment is available for use by a broader scope of technologies.听
