Cynergy4MIE is a visionary project that aims to revolutionize Europe’s industrial landscape by reducing
the gap between the core technology layers, cross-cutting technologies and key application areas. The project addresses the pressing need to use resources efficiently and create synergies between ecosystems.
EDI will research and define requirements and specifications for a quantum sensor-based system, in particular for nitrogen vacancy-based measurement control electronics, focusing on size and cost reduction as well as energy efficiency improvements. A key requirement will be to assess the feasibility (long-term production costs, energy consumption, miniaturization) of a generic integrated circuit for control and data acquisition that could be reused in a wide range of quantum sensing applications. Based on the specifications developed, EDI will improve quantum sensor technology by miniaturization. A key contribution will be the development of an open reusable architecture and its incorporation into an application-specific chip.
EDI was represented by lead researcher Rihards Novickis and research assistant Andrejs Cvetkovs. The key collaborator, Silicon Austria (SAL), has already been identified and a discussion with their representative, Manuel Freiberger, has been organised. They discussed the development of the quantum sensor in other (previous) projects, the roadmap for the sensor and the proposed possibilities to integrate it with their machine learning algorithms.
