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.
