EE Times Europe

📖The electronica 2024 Special Edition of EE Times Europe Magazine is now live📖 This issue covers topics such as energy-efficient embedded systems, #IoT low-power protocols, reliability and security by design, post-quantum cryptography and #automotive #safety and #security. It also looks at ways of significantly improving productivity, from chip design to manufacturing, from #silicon to #software. https://lnkd.in/eAY5eP_t Semicon Europa | electronicaFair #securebydesign #semiconductorindustry #chipmanufacturing

It has been five years since French #quantumcomputing startup Alice & Bob emerged, and in five years’ time, it aims to build the first #useful #quantumcomputer. To get there, it has defined a technology roadmap and raised €100 million in a #SeriesB financing round. ➡️Juliette Peyronnet, Alice & Bob’s U.S. general manager, answered our questions. https://lnkd.in/dFS9Q4tP Future French Champions | Qatar Investment Authority | Bpifrance | AXA VENTURE PARTNERS | Elaia | Breega | Supernova Invest | European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) #errorcorrection #faulttolerant #CatQubits #logicalqubits #decoherence

The key principles of Secure by Design include #defense in depth, #attacksurface minimization and privilege access management, all with the goal of increasing #resilience and lowering the chance of successful #cyberattacks. But what does Secure by Design really mean? And how can organizations benefit from getting involved? ➡️ Read this perspective piece by Elliott W., CTO of Advanced Cyber Defence Systems (ACDS). https://lnkd.in/ePYDYCcn #securebydesign #cyberresillienceact #cyberthreats #cybersecurity #hardwaresecurity

Unlike software, #hardwaresecurity tackles #vulnerabilities at their root, creating a barrier that is difficult to penetrate. The Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (#CHERI) technology, developed by the University of Cambridge and adopted by a group of organizations and governments through the CHERI Alliance, follows this approach. ➡️ Jamie Broome, chief product officer for automotive business and product management at Codasip, explained the role and importance of the CHERI Alliance and described Codasip’s new L730 #processor. https://lnkd.in/ejA4PjBh #cybersecurity #cyberthreat #instructionset Saumitra Jagdale

This week’s newsletter explores the #automotive #chiplet ecosystem with Kurt Herremans, director of imec’s automotive chip program, and the evolution of Silicon Saxony with Wenke Weinreich, deputy director of Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS. It also features a discussion with Christian Dupont, CEO of iPRONICS, after the company raised €20M in funding to accelerate the deployment of its software-defined optical networking engine in #datacenters.

#Lithium is a critical raw material driving the #cleanenergy transition. The direct #lithiumextraction segment is projected to be the fastest-growing segment, with a compound annual growth rate of 19.6%, according to Jiayi Cen, technology analyst at IDTechEx. https://lnkd.in/ewnFQKhT #batteries #batteryrecycling #smartenergy #LiionBattery #renewableenergy

Trapped ions are hard to scale? ETH Zürich spinoff ZuriQ has raised $4.2 million to commercialize an architecture that the startup claims could overcome the #quantumcomputing scaling barrier.  ➡️ Pavel Hrmo, co-founder and CEO of ZuriQ, answered our questions. https://lnkd.in/d7jtfS6X SquareOne Venture Capital | First Momentum Ventures | Onsight Ventures | QAI Ventures #trappedions #2Dgrid #quantumcomputers #quantumtechnologies #venturecapital Quantum Center, ETH Zurich

Chiplets gained a lot of attention when the idea was first muted several decades ago. Since then, interest has waned. That is until imec gathered together several automotive semiconductor vendors on its Automotive Chip Program. To learn more about the ACP initiative and the resurgence of using chiplets, I spoke with Kurt Herremans, director of the program. https://lnkd.in/ePdApxNq #chiplet #automotive #imec #semiconductors

Chemical companies need access to #HPC to run simulators, which are often open-source software, sometimes with a few modifications to meet specific needs. Some organizations choose to rent time on cloud-based infrastructures. But in 2016, BASF decided it had enough big workloads to justify building and operating their own world-class supercomputer. But what does that entail? Stephan Schenk, Ulrike Brandt #supercomputer #top500
