Quantum technologies will revolutionize our ability to process and distribute information. It will enable achieving secure communication and tackling problems which we could not solve before, with unprecedented impact in our society.

Quantech is a Danish Research Infrastructure created to support and foster research and industry in the development of quantum devices.

We provide access to state-of-the-art manufacturing and characterization equipment to researchers and industrial partners, engaged in the development of emerging technologies in quantum science and related fields.

Partners: University of Copenhagen (KU), Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Aarhus University (AU), University of Southern Denmark (SDU).

Funding: Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation by 20 million DKK.

Total budget: 50 million DKK

Project Manager: Leonardo Midolo, Niels Bohr Insitute, University of Copenhagen.

Steering committee members:

• Prof. Peter Lodahl, chairman (KU)
• Prof. Ulrik Andersen (DTU)
• Prof. Sergey Bozhevolnyi (SDU)
• Prof. Michael Drewsen (AU)
• Jan C. Petersen (Dansk Institut for Fundamental Metrologi, GTS)
• Yueqiang Shen (Accelink Denmark A/S)

Quantech labs and equipment are open to academic and commercial users. Access to the facilities is granted upon application and according to the following criteria:

• Compatibility of the planned activity with the equipment specifications.
• Excellence of the proposed activity and relevance within the field of quantum technologies.
• Availability of the resources needed to complete the proposed activity.
• The project is within the limit of Danish legislation.

To apply, please contact us with a short description of the proposed activity, expected usage of the tools, and number of users.

Pricing information

The tools are subjected to an hourly price rate (per user) and a “reservation” fee.

Prices are calculated according to the type of user (KU-partner, Danish academia, commercial activity) and are subjected to changes over time. Please contact the project coordinator for information about prices for individual tools and rules.

All new users must receive a training session for each tool before being able to book it and use it independently.

Please contact the process engineer Zhe Liu (zhe.liu@nbi.ku.dk) once your application has been approved by the Quantech management board.

It is possible to arrange special sessions with a process engineer (higher fees apply).

Note on Electron Beam Lithography support: Quantech does not offer tools or training for chip design, or calibration of design exposures (e.g. proximity error correction).

Services

We do not typically offer processing or characterization services (i.e. work done by Quantech’s staff on behalf of customers or partners). On only a few occasions and in very special situations we may arrange such services if motivated. In this case, prices will be agreed upon individually and based on the service itself.
