Description
The EU Chips Joint Undertaking (JU), part of the European Chips Act to strengthen the European semiconductor sector, recently announced a consortium called SUPREME that aims to industrialize superconducting quantum chip fabrication over the next six years. A total of 23 partners from 8 Member States will participate in the effort coordinated by VTT, a prominent Finnish player in quantum technology. The consortium will draw on European activities in superconducting technology from academia, government research organizations, commercial quantum computing (QC) suppliers, and QC end users. Key players include IQM, a Finnish supplier of superconducting quantum systems, and Infineon, Europe’s largest semiconductor manufacturer.
