It is made up of: Alice & Bob, Amires, Arctic Instruments, Bayerische Akademie Der Wissenschaften, CEA, Delft University, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, IFAE, Infineon, IQM, Leibniz Institute, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Peak Quantum, Qilimanjaro QphoX, Quantum Tech, QuantWare, Silent Waves, Silicon Austria Labs, Single Quantum, The Business Innovation Management Institute TNO, University of Naples and VTT.
The member states of the consortium members will put up another €25m.
SUPREME’s objective is to industrialise superconducting quantum technology and facilitate access to it for industry and academia. The first phase will commence in early 2026 and span three and a half years.
A milestone will be fabrication and demonstration of a 3D-integrated qubit module containing 200 qubits. This will showcase the improved stability, higher yield and improved reproducibility of the key fabrication processes for superconducting quantum chips.
Quantum processes to be developed by SUPREME include angle-evaporated junctions, etched junctions, 3D integration and hybrid processes for applications in quantum computing, quantum sensing and quantum communication. The aim is to reach technology readiness level TRL 6 and manufacturing readiness level MRL 6.
SUPREME will make its fabrication processes available for companies by offering piloting services. Access to the technologies will be given through PDKs, pilot runs and shared wafer runs to enable companies to design and develop their own quantum devices and systems.
