Imagine building a computer circuit where every single atom is placed exactly where it needs to be, like building with the smallest possible LEGO bricks. Current quantum computers are like ice sculptures—they melt unless kept freezing cold. This project creates a way to 'hard-wire' quantum properties into carbon ribbons so they work at normal room temperature.
Quantum technologies usually require ultra-low temperatures to function, making them expensive and difficult to integrate into standard electronics. This creates a massive barrier for the mass adoption of quantum computing and sensing.
A feasibility study and a set of material processing steps for creating atomically precise graphene nanoribbons that function at room temperature.
If you are a chip manufacturer dealing with the extreme cooling costs of quantum hardware—this project developed a platform using graphene nanoribbons that allows quantum states to function at room temperature. This removes the need for expensive cryogenic systems.
If you are a photonics hardware provider dealing with signal loss and energy inefficiency—this project developed atomically tunable multifunctional devices. These can be integrated into next-gen photonics for faster and more precise data transmission.
If you are a spintronics developer dealing with the instability of quantum phases—this project developed a bottom-up synthesis method to hard-wire spin polarization into carbon structures. This provides a more stable foundation for next-gen electronics.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing or cost information provided for the implementation of this technology.
The project is currently demonstrating feasibility through a bottom-up synthesis approach. Based on available project data, it is in the early stages of developing material processing and device fabrication steps.
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing terms are not mentioned, though the project is coordinated by CNRS and involves 7 partners.
The project aims to solve the challenge of manipulating and integrating quantum technologies into chip-scale substrates by using a bottom-up approach to hard-wire quantum states.
The project period runs from 2023-10-01 to 2027-03-31, suggesting that feasibility and fabrication steps are being developed during this window.
The consortium is heavily research-oriented, consisting of 5 universities and 1 research center (CNRS), with only 1 industrial partner (14% industry ratio). This indicates the project is currently in a high-risk, fundamental discovery phase rather than a commercial scaling phase, leveraging expertise across 5 countries.
