Quantum Circuits Joins the NORDTECH Consortium

Quantum Circuits, Inc. announced that it has joined the Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub (NORDTECH) to expand its contribution to the national quest for developing state-of-the-art fabrication technology for supporting superconducting quantum computers.

Our Head of Solutions Architecture and Strategic Relations, Mowaffak Midani, plays a key role in managing relations and projects at Quantum Circuits, and from his perspective joining NORDTECH is a natural step for Quantum Circuits, given our existing participation in the SQFab project, which is a four-year long project that has already demonstrated significant results in the design, fabrications, and characterization of key quantum computing components.

The SQFab project is a DOW funded project for Improved Materials for Superconducting Qubits with Scalable Fabrication. It is led by NY CREATES with work taking place at the non-profit organization’s Albany NanoTech Complex, a world-leading R&D, innovation hub and commercialization facilitator advancing technologies in the areas of logic, heterogeneous packaging, memory, integrated photonics, and more. The SQFab mission is to co-develop technologies necessary to demonstrate scalable quantum error correction, using new materials, innovative quantum circuits and qubit control schemes.

Harvey Moseley, our VP of Quantum Hardware Engineering at Quantum Circuits, sees new materials, fabrication techniques, and approaches to superconducting device production as being essential to manufacture high performance resonators, transmons, and other critical microwave circuit elements necessary for scalable quantum computing systems.

NORDTECH is a regional coalition within The Microelectronics Commons program, which is a network of regional technology Hubs acting on a shared mission: to expand the nation’s global leadership in microelectronics. The Microelectronics Commons program is accelerating domestic prototyping and growing a pipeline of U.S.-based semiconductor talent.

Being a part of NORTECH is an exciting opportunity for Quantum Circuits to both contribute to the community and build on our expertise in nanofabrication. We look forward to engaging with its leaders and members to foster a robust effort in accelerating advanced fabrication methods to realize scalable device production and further the Northeast’s leading position as a leader in quantum technology.
