Fraunhofer IAF is presenting the latest version of its compact integrated quantum magnetometer. The diamond-based system is characterized by its robustness, high integration density, and state-of-the-art measurement sensitivity. Thanks to its easy calibration, high sensitivity of a few picotesla, an…
To promote the use of quantum sensors in industry, Fraunhofer IAF has developed a virtual application laboratory for quantum sensing. This innovative information platform provides comprehensive technical knowledge about quantum magnetometers, applications, and measurement scenarios. It also allows i…
Fraunhofer IAF is expanding its technological capabilities in the field of III-V compound semiconductors, making a valuable contribution to the development of the APECS pilot line within the framework of the EU Chips Act. The Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism is con…
Researchers at Fraunhofer IAF have made a breakthrough in the field of semiconductor materials: With aluminum yttrium nitride (AlYN), they have succeeded in fabricating and characterizing a new and promising semiconductor material using the MOCVD process. Due to its excellent material properties and…
In order to make quantum computers usable, developing the control technology is at least as important for scaled systems, yet it is still in its infancy. Project ARCTIC brings together 36 international partners from industry, academia and leading RTOs to establish a complete and comprehensive Europe…
Germany’s first cryogenic measuring setup for statistical quality measurement of qubit devices on whole 200- and 300-mm wafers has started operation at Fraunhofer IAF. The on-wafer prober can characterize devices based on semiconductor quantum dots and quantum wells as well as superconductors at m…
Bei seinem Besuch des Fraunhofer IAF am 31. März 2023 sprachen der baden-württembergische Wirtschaftsstaatssekretär Dr. Patrick Rapp und der kommissarische Institutsleiter Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Quay über industrielle Chancen und Kooperationsmöglichkeiten im Bereich der Quantentechnologien. Der Bes…
Fraunhofer IAF has expanded its state-of-the-art research infrastructure and further improved the conditions for the development of pioneering semiconductor technologies. With the support of the German federal government, the state of Baden-Württemberg as well as the BMVg, a laboratory building and…
In medical care, magnetic fields of heart and brain activity are measured to detect diseases at an early stage. To measure even the smallest magnetic fields, researchers at Fraunhofer IAF are working on a new approach: diamond-based laser threshold magnetometry. The idea is to use diamond with a hig…
Imagine holding two different medications in your hands, one being the original, the other one being a counterfeit. Both appear exactly the same. Is there any way for you to distinguish them? The answer is: yes. Our quantum cascade laser (QCL) has the ability to identify substances in a split second…
