We push the boundaries of quantum technology! 🦾🚀 At Fraunhofer ISIT, we're pushing the boundaries of quantum technology by developing cutting-edge #MEMS solutions for quantum computing and sensing. Leveraging our expertise in microtechnical processes at the 8" wafer level, we create innovative technologies like hermetically sealed #microactuators for #laser light manipulation, ultra-sensitive #sensors for detecting weak magnetic fields, and durable mechanical components essential for #quantum computing systems.📈🔝 💡 Our Innovations: 1. #PowderMEMS The comprehensive application of quantum technology hinges on the miniaturization and scaling of systems. Depending on the architecture, quantum computing with ion traps or quantum sensing with nitrogen-vacancy centers require precise local magnetic fields. Integrating durable permanent micromagnets with high accuracy on wafer level poses a great challenge for established manufacturing processes. Our PowderMEMS microfabrication technique presents a unique opportunity to produce such micromagnets directly in a silicon or glass wafer. This opens up completely new possibilities for bringing quantum technology to the wider society. 2. #MEMS Mirrors In collaboration with Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz through our #KonneQt project, we utilize quasi-static MEMS mirrors to precisely scale the length of an optical cavity across all three spatial dimensions. This precise mirror adjustment not only enables the efficient connection of more qubits but also directs laser beams for capturing and positioning neutral atoms—a technique known as optical tweezers. This breakthrough significantly expands the research and application potential of quantum computing, opening up new frontiers in the field. #Fraunhofer #quantumcomputing #quantumsensing #innovation #MEMSapplications #MEMSmirrors #micromagnets
