Supreme

SUPREME develops scal­able manu­fac­turing processes for super­con­ducting quantum devices and provides pilot-line services for acad­emia and industry to accel­erate the tran­si­tion from re­search to indus­trial produc­tion. By offering pilot fabri­ca­tion, process design kits (PDKs), and commer­cial­iza­tion support, SUPREME strengthens Europe’s quantum tech­nology ecosystem and tech­no­log­ical sover­eignty.

Project goals

The SUPREME pilot line focuses on devel­oping scal­able manu­fac­turing processes for super­con­ducting quantum devices, with the objec­tive of estab­lishing pilot-line services acces­sible to both acad­emic and indus­trial users. By bridging the gap between labo­ra­tory-scale inno­va­tion and reli­able, scal­able produc­tion, SUPREME seeks to accel­erate the indus­tri­al­iza­tion and market uptake of super­con­ducting quantum tech­nolo­gies. Through the provi­sion of process design kits (PDKs), pilot fabri­ca­tion runs, and commer­cial­iza­tion support services, the pilot line will enable tech­nology devel­opers to vali­date, opti­mize, and scale their inno­va­tions in an indus­tri­ally rele­vant envi­ron­ment. In doing so, SUPREME aims to strengthen Europe’s quantum tech­nology ecosystem, enhance strategic tech­no­log­ical autonomy, and rein­force Europe’s tech­no­log­ical sover­eignty in accor­dance with the objec­tives of the Euro­pean Quantum and Chips Acts.

  • Develop cutting-edge, stable, repro­ducible and high-yield processes for state-of-the-art super­con­ducting quantum devices
  • Ensure high-quality process­ing through metic­u­lous quality assur­ance and control method­ology, and vali­date the devel­oped fabri­ca­tion processes through demon­stra­tors
  • Provide stable pilot fabri­ca­tion services for Euro­pean customers to support indus­tri­al­iza­tion of quantum tech­nolo­gies
  • Build Euro­pean ecosystem on devel­op­ment and inno­va­tion in super­con­ducting quantum chips, devices and systems
  • Explore inte­gra­tion oppor­tu­ni­ties between SUPRE­ME’s super­con­ducting and CHAMP-ION’s ion-trap tech­nolo­gies, enhancing scal­a­bility and perfor­mance
