QBN Meeting: Scaling of Quantum Chips

WG Meeting Details:
Date: 07.-08.10.2026
Venue: CNT Center Nanoelectronic Technologies – Fraunhofer IPMS in Dresden, Germany
RSVP required.

What does it mean to scale quantum chips, and which aspects are most relevant today?

Hosted by Fraunhofer IPMS, this event gathers quantum industry leaders, hardware developers, foundry operators, and system integrators to address the core challenge of quantum computing: scaling chip production from lab prototypes to deployable systems.

Key Topics & Technical Focus

• Industrial Fabrication & Foundries: Leveraging microelectronics infrastructure for scalable quantum chip production.
• Testing & Integration: Bridging quantum-specific requirements with high-yield testing methodologies.
• Ecosystem Synergies:
  • Connect with decision-makers and experts from R&D and the semiconductor and quantum industry across the value chain – from developers to fab capabilities.
  • Discuss how fabrication processes, foundry approaches, scaling strategies, and testing methodologies interact to scale quantum chips for key technologies and applications.
  • Gain insights into one of Europe’s leading chip ecosystems.

Agenda Highlights

• Interactive Discussion: Open exchange on technical bottlenecks, scaling strategies, and market readiness.
• Guided Lab Tour: Direct look at state-of-the-art quantum chip development facilities at Fraunhofer IPMS.
• Global Foundries Keynote:
  Funding the Quantum Revolution: Why Foundry Economics Must Change – Will Europe also miss the ‘next big thing’?
  Sven Beyer, Fellow at GLOBALFOUNDRIES – Technology Architect Group, Global Foundries

Join us in Dresden to help shape the path toward industrial-grade quantum hardware.
