Espoo-based research centre VTT has been selected to lead SUPREME, a new EU consortium that aims to develop stable fabrication processes for European superconducting quantum chips.
The idea of SUPREME is to strengthen the European ecosystem by providing researchers, SMEs and large enterprises with access to these processes. A pilot line is expected to launch in 2026 and will open to external users in 2027.
"By developing stable fabrication processes for superconducting quantum chips, we push the boundaries of what is possible in quantum computing, sensing, and communication”, says Pekka Pursula, VTT’s Director for Microeconomics and Quantum Research and coordinator of the consortium, in VTT’s press release.
With VTT as coordinating partner, SUPREME consists of in total 23 partners from eight EU Member States. Espoo-based IQM Quantum Computers and Arctic Instruments are also part of the new consortium.
