SHARE – Scalable Hardware and Systems Engineering

How are qubits controlled via chips? At Munich Quantum Valley, Fraunhofer IIS is working on the "SHARE – Scalable Hardware and Systems Engineering" project to develop efficient methods for controlling and reading superconducting qubits.

To the project

OCTCHIP

The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS is partner of a European research project, in which engineers and scientists are developing a low-cost and miniaturized chip-technology for improved medical diagnosis, e.g. in ophthalmology. The photonic-integrated technology developed in this project may become an enabler to bring Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to broader use in medical care. The Fraunhofer IIS leads the CMOS based readout electronic integration.

THINGS2DO

Many German and European industries place especially high requirements on the microelectronic components of their products. To date, it has often still been possible to meet these requirements with standard semiconductors from global providers. However, an increasing number of applications call for more powerful and more individually customized technologies. In response, the project "THINGS2DO" is focused on the development of a virtual German design center for FD-SOI components.

Theranostic Implants

The Fraunhofer lead project “Theranostic Implants” focuses on the development of “intelligent” implants with diagnostic and therapeutic functions. In the subproject on the neuromuscular demonstrator, a myoelectric prosthetic hand controller, Fraunhofer IIS is developing the electronics for controlling the implant.
