Tyndall is at the forefront of Quantum Information Processing, with our researchers developing the theories and computational models of tomorrow, producing the materials, engineering the devices and building applications to enable our quantum computing and quantum communication future.
Tyndall is working on several multimillion-euro projects on Quantum Technologies, with multiple international and national partners.
Speaking about Quantum at Tyndall, Dr Giorgos Fagas, Head of CMOS++ and EU Programmes said:
“Tyndall has been active in quantum technologies for more than a decade, with research projects in engineering of quantum materials and devices for qubit realisation. We are very excited that in recent years we have consolidated this position in alignment with our atoms to systems philosophy. The breadth of topics and partnerships of these recently awarded projects brings us at the forefront of recent developments in the field internationally.”
Below is a summary of Tyndall's Quantum projects kicked-off in 2023:
Quantum Secure Networks Partnership (QSNP)
A European Quantum Flagship project developing secure quantum networks. This is a €25M EU-funded project with 40 European partners.
Building a National Quantum Communication Infrastructure for Ireland (Ireland QCI)
This project is building a national Quantum Communication Infrastructure for Ireland in open cooperation with 14 EU Member States and is worth €10M, co-funded by the EU and the Irish Government.
Convergent Quantum Research Alliance in Telecommunications (CoQcreate)
This is a €3M US-Ireland R&D partnership with Queen’s University Belfast and the University of Arizona-led NSF Centre for Quantum Networks.
Quantum Photonic Integrated Circuits (QPIC1550)
This €9M project with 9 European Partners is creating a universal quantum photonic platform at 1550nm.
Germanium Hole-based Spin Qubits in Quantum Dot Arrays (DEMETER)
A prestigious Postdoctoral Fellowship funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship
European Photonic Quantum Computer (EPIQUE)
18 European Partners are developing an integrated photonic platform for quantum computing. This EU-funded project is worth €10.5M.
Germanium-Tin Material Platform for Quantum Devices (GeSn-QED)
This is an SFI Frontiers for the Future Partnership with MTU worth €1.3M.
A Quantum Bus for Germanium Hole-based Spin Qubits on Silicon (GeQuantumBus)
This is a €2M EPSRC-SFI project involving five UK and Irish Partners and 7 Collaborators across Europe and Australia.
