Project Info
ARCTIC is Europe’s first Chips Joint Undertaking project to develop components and systems for controlling and interfacing scaled-up quantum computers and other cryogenic microsystems. The ARCTIC (“Advanced Research on Cryogenic Technologies for Innovative Computing”) project intends to establish a complete and comprehensive European supply chain for cryogenic photonics, microelectronics, and in general, cryo-microsystems around the emerging quantum computing industry and different cryo-enabled ICT applications. This includes the development of materials and fabrication processes, novel simulation approaches, heterogenous packaging, as well as the optimization of devices and circuits specifically designed for cryogenic operation.
ARCTIC brings together 36 partners including Tyndall from 11 countries, coming from industry, academia and leading RTO’s. Expected outcomes from the project are considered as important enablers for highly demanded technologies, that can resolve existing problems in areas such as computational chemistry, bio and life sciences, cryptography needed for data protection and cyber security.
