Nūhou ʻOihana: Ua pau ka hana ʻana o ka hale hana wafer 12-'īniha mua o Denemaka

"Me kēia hale hana, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohui i ka hana ʻana i nā mea hana i loko o ka hale, e hiki ai iā mākou ke hana i ka noiʻi a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana me ka ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi me ka ʻole o ka hilinaʻi ʻana i nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe a puni ka honua no ka hana ʻana," wahi a Peter Krogstroup, Luna Nui o NQCP a me ke polopeka ma ka Niels Bohr Institute. "Eia kekahi, kōkua ia iā mākou e unuhi pololei i nā ʻenehana noiʻi a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka hana nui—kahi e pōmaikaʻi ai ʻaʻole wale iā mākou iho akā ʻo Denemaka a me ka ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa."

Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia, "ʻIke mākou i ke koi nui no nā wafers 300mm ma ʻEulopa. E hiki iā mākou ke hoʻolako koke i nā mea i nā hale hana nui a me nā lole wafer liʻiliʻi me nā lako 300mm ʻoi loa no ka mea hiki iā mākou ke ʻoki i nā ʻāpana mai kā mākou mau wafers e kūpono i ko lākou nui wafer liʻiliʻi."

Ua hoʻolālā ʻia ke Kikowaena ʻenehana POEM e hana piha i loko o hoʻokahi makahiki, a i kēlā manawa e hana nui ʻia ai nā wafers silicon a me silicon-on-insulator. E hoʻohana ʻo Krogstrup a me kāna mau hoa hana i ka ʻenehana epitaxial holomua o Riber e ulu i nā ʻano ʻili lahilahi strontium titanate (STO) a me barium titanate (BTO) ma nā wafers no ka hana ʻana o nā mea ʻike electro-optic, nā transmitter, a me nā waveguides—nā ʻāpana koʻikoʻi no ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā kahua photonic a me nā kaapuni quantum paʻakikī.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Krogstrom e mākaukau nā mea mua no ka noiʻi a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka hopena o ka makahiki. I kēia manawa, ke kūkulu nei ʻo ia a me kāna mau hoa hana i kahi ʻōnaehana hana chip piha, me ka hana ʻana i nā wafer, ka ʻoki ʻana, a me nā lako ʻokiʻoki. E lawelawe ke kikowaena ma ke ʻano he laina hana hoʻāʻo a me kahi kikowaena prototyping chip. "E hiki iā mākou ke hana koke i nā mea ʻili lahilahi ma nā wafers a laila hāʻawi i nā chips i kekahi mea makemake," wahi āna. "I ka manawa like, e hana pū mākou i ka noiʻi ʻimi e hoʻomohala i nā hale ʻoi loa."

Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia, "I kēia manawa, e hoʻomau mākou i ka pae noiʻi a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana a hiki i ka loaʻa ʻana o ke ala kūpono e kūkulu ai i nā ʻāpana e pono ai no ka helu quantum, ʻo ia kā mākou mea nui."

Manaʻo ʻo Krogstrup e kōkua nā hana hou ma ke Kikowaena ʻenehana POEM iā NQCP e hoʻokō i kāna mau pahuhopu helu quantum hoʻomanawanui hewa me ka wikiwiki: "Ma NQCP, loaʻa iā mākou kahi suite ʻano hana automated nui e hiki ke hōʻoia a wehewehe i ke ʻano o ka wafer holoʻokoʻa. Ua hoʻomohala kā mākou mau mea hana a me nā hui ʻano qubit i nā ʻano hana e hiki ke hāʻawi koke i nā waiwai mea a me nā manaʻo maikaʻi. No laila, ma ka hoʻohui ʻana i kēia mau ʻenehana me POEM, e loaʻa iā mākou kahi loop pani piha no nā photonics kūloko a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka chip quantum.

Ua komo kekahi mau ʻoihana koʻikoʻi o Denemaka, me ke Kikowaena Lahui no Nanofabrication a me Characterization o ke Kulanui ʻenehana o Denemaka (DTU Nanolab) a me ka NATO North Atlantic Defence Innovation Accelerator (DIANA), i ka papahana. Kākoʻo ʻo DIANA i nā ʻenehana hohonu pālua, me nā ʻenehana quantum a me photonic, no nā noi kalepa a me ka pale kaua. "He nui o kā mākou modulators optical a me nā kaapuni hoʻohui photonic e kōkua no nā sensor (kalapa) a me ka hana ʻikepili," wahi a Krogstrop.

ʻO ke koʻikoʻi, ua kūlike ke kikowaena ʻenehana POEM me nā hana ākea o ʻEulopa e hōʻemi i ka hilinaʻi ʻana i nā ʻāpana ʻAmelika a me ʻAsia. Pēlā nō, ma Denemaka, ua hoʻokomo pū ka Novo Nordisk Foundation a me ka Danish Export Investment Fund i €80 miliona ma ka papahana QuNorth, me ka manaʻo e hoʻokumu i ka kamepiula quantum hanauna hou o Denemaka. Me ke kākoʻo ʻia e ke kānāwai chip o ka EU, ua puka mai nā hui lehulehu-pilikino he nui, me ka manaʻo e pāpālua i ka mahele o ʻEulopa o ka hana semiconductor honua i 20% ma 2030. I Iulai o kēia makahiki, ua hāpai ke Komisina ʻEulopa i kahi hoʻolālā quantum e pili ana i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā kikowaena hoʻolālā quantum a me nā laina hana hoʻāʻo no nā ʻāpana quantum, me ka manaʻo e kōkua iā ʻEulopa e lilo i alakaʻi honua ma kēia kahua ma 2030.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Krogstrop, "I kēia mau manawa kānalua, i ka wā e kānalua ai mākou i ka mea hiki iā mākou ke hilinaʻi, makemake mākou a pau i ke kūʻokoʻa ʻenehana. He mea maikaʻi ka loaʻa ʻana o nā (hale) he nui ma ʻEulopa, a he mea nui loa ʻo POEM no ka mea ke ulu nui nei ke kahua o nā photonics i hoʻohui ʻia."

Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia, "I kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe laina hana ma ʻEulopa i hiki ke hoʻokō i ke koi no kā mākou hana ʻana i nā mea STO a me BTO e hiki mai ana. Ke hoʻonui nei ʻo Imec ma Belgium i kāna mau laina hana. E lilo kēia mana hou i mea pono loa."

I ka nānā ʻana i mua, manaʻo ʻo Krogstrom e hana pū ka POEM Technology Centre me nā hale hana wafer 300mm ma ʻEulopa. Manaʻolana pū ʻo ia e hui pū me nā hale hana wafer 300mm ma nā wahi mamao aku, a me GlobalFoundries ma US a me TSMC ma Taiwan, ma nā wahi o ka photonics holomua a me ka hana ʻana i nā hāmeʻa quantum. "No ka laʻana, e pāʻani nā interconnects quantum i kahi kuleana koʻikoʻi ke hoʻomaka nā kamepiula quantum i ka hana nui ʻana," wahi āna.

No laila, mai kēia manawa a hiki i ka makahiki 2030, e hoʻolaʻa ʻia ka Luna Nui o NQCP a me kāna mau hoa hana i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ke Kikowaena ʻenehana POEM i loko o kahi ʻōnaehana quantum a me ka photonic chip holomua maoli ma ka pae aupuni. "E hoʻomau mākou i ka hana ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kahi ʻōnaehana (honua), no ka mea, ʻaʻohe mea hiki ke hele wale ... akā ke manaʻolana nei mākou e hana pū me nā mea kuleana like ʻole a me nā ʻoihana mea hana e pili ana i ka ʻenehana 300mm," wahi a Krogstrop. "ʻO Riber ka hui mua e hui pū me mākou, akā e kūkulu mākou i kahi (kikowaena) nui aʻe no nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe e hele mai a hoʻomohala i kā lākou huahana hou loa a me nā ʻenehana holomua."
