Imagine building a super-highway for electricity where there is zero traffic and no energy is lost. Current versions of these highways have 'bumps' that create noise and errors in sensitive devices. This work creates a new way to build these paths using a precise, Lego-like assembly of molecules to make them perfectly smooth and efficient.
Current superconducting electronic devices suffer from noise, dissipation, and dephasing due to material impurities and fabrication incompatibilities.
A methodology for synthesizing complex monomers and highly crystalline covalent organic materials with unexpected topologies.
If you are a hardware manufacturer dealing with signal noise and dephasing in qubits — this project developed a methodology for low-noise Josephson Junctions that increases device sensitivity and performance.
If you are an equipment producer dealing with dissipation and interference in superconducting sensors — this project developed exotic crystalline materials that enable higher performance in medical sensing devices.
If you are an instrument maker dealing with compatibility problems during the fabrication of superconducting components — this project developed a bottom-up synthesis method for moiré materials to create more stable devices.
Based on available project data, the specific commercial cost is not listed, although the EU provided a contribution of EUR 2,383,360 for the research phase.
Based on available project data, the project focused on developing synthetic routes for monomers and bulk materials, but industrial scaling metrics are not yet provided.
Based on available project data, the project involves a consortium of 7 partners including one SME, but specific licensing terms are not disclosed.
The project period is from 2022-11-01 to 2026-07-31.
The project aims to solve compatibility problems during fabrication by using a bottom-up methodology to create highly crystalline materials.
The consortium is heavily academic, consisting of 4 universities and 2 research centers, with a 14% industry ratio represented by a single SME. This structure indicates a high-risk, fundamental research focus, leveraging deep expertise across 4 countries (BE, CH, ES, PT) to bridge the gap between molecular chemistry and electronic device fabrication.
