The challenge
From scientific excellence to industrial capability
Europe has world-leading expertise in quantum science. The next challenge is to turn advanced laboratory components into reliable, repeatable and scalable technologies that can be manufactured, assembled, tested and integrated across a European supply chain.
Q-PLANET addresses this gap by establishing shared pilot-line capabilities dedicated to neutral-atom quantum technologies.
The challenge
From scientific excellence to industrial capability
Europe has world-leading expertise in quantum science. The next challenge is to turn advanced laboratory components into reliable, repeatable and scalable technologies that can be manufactured, assembled, tested and integrated across a European supply chain.
Q-PLANET addresses this gap by establishing shared pilot-line capabilities dedicated to neutral-atom quantum technologies.
What the pilot line will develop
Six technology pillars
Chip-based laser components
Integrated sources and photonic components at wavelengths required by neutral-atom systems.
Atom chips
Industrial-grade processes for quantum sensing, metrology and neutral-atom quantum computing applications.
Microfabricated vapor cells
Compact atomic components for clocks, sensors, memories and photonic applications.
Control electronics
Low-noise, high-speed and scalable control electronics for quantum technologies.
Packaging and integration
Modular assembly processes and design rules for robust quantum chips components.
Testing and characterization
Common methodologies, quality assurance and specialized tools for pilot-line production.
Expected impact
A stronger European quantum value chain
Q-PLANET will help strengthen European technological sovereignty, improve supply-chain resilience and accelerate the industrial deployment of neutral-atom quantum technologies for computing, sensing and communication.
- More mature and reproducible manufacturing processes.
- Common design, assembly and testing methodologies.
- Closer cooperation between research, industry and future users.
- A foundation for sustainable pilot-line services beyond the first project phase.
