Description du projet
Les diamants sont les meilleurs amis des capteurs quantiques
La détection quantique exploite la superposition cohérente d’états quantiques afin de réaliser des mesures avec une précision inégalée. Le centre azote-lacune du diamant est un excellent candidat pour la mise au point du capteur quantique idéal. Il s’agit d’un défaut spécifique du diamant dans lequel deux atomes de carbone adjacents sont remplacés par un atome d’azote et une lacune. Le projet AMADEUS, financé par l’UE, comprend un consortium orienté vers l’industrie qui a pour mission de commercialiser ces types de capteurs quantiques. Le consortium exploite des prototypes de capteurs développés avec succès par un autre projet en cours. AMADEUS entend accroître le niveau maturité technologique (TRL) au niveau 7, en mettant l’accent sur quatre applications.
Objectif
AMADEUS is an industry-oriented consortium that will prepare the market uptake of quantum sensors exploiting NV centres in ultrapure diamond, one of the most promising and market-ready technology of quantum sensing. AMADEUS capitalises on the ongoing ASTERIQS project that develops this technology to TRL 4-5 in the ramp-up phase of the Quantum Flagship. Four advanced applications will be pursued up to TRL 6-7 to answer societal and economical needs where no solution exists yet:
• Provide a real-time cartography of the RF signal frequencies in 5G communication cellular networks, and further on future 6G, enabling self-optimizing networks in dense area, thus increasing the number of communications and lowering the energy consumption.
• Provide a tool to the semiconductor industry to analyse the defects in microelectronics circuits at room temperature and in standard environment in order to increase the throughput and lower the cost production.
• Enable monitoring the muscle and brain activity as novel medical diagnostic tool or as brain-machine interface in the future.
• Use monitoring of the magnetic field as a multipurpose tool in harsh environment for space applications or for monitoring of the transient currents in electric car batteries.
The consortium involves large companies, RTO’s, SME’s and academic partners. It addresses the whole value chain, from the diamond material to the system working in operational environment, along which the workplan is organised. The partners will produce the material and the components that will be assembled in operational systems and will disseminate the results towards large audiences including end-users. Key actions will be taken to support the transfer to market. In collaboration with major European metrology institutes, AMADEUS will contribute to the standardisation and certification of quantum technology. Consequently, AMADEUS will reinforce the European quantum industry for the benefit of Europe’s economy and citizens.
