The world is in a race to build the most advanced quantum systems - each modality, from silicon spin and superconducting qubits to trapped ions and photonics, brings unique challenges.
At Demcon high-tech systems, we transform quantum research into scalable, industrial solutions through deep engineering and system integration expertise.
Demcon supplies the systems and tools to enable scaling these systems and pushing performance, for example by design and realization of magnetic shielding, vacuum, cryogenics and vibration isolation systems.
We executed various projects in these areas, delivering hardware modules for different qubit modalities.
Security is guaranteed with quantum communication. But scaling and deploying quantum communication systems poses new challenges for system engineering, industrialization and manufacturing.
We have 30+ years of experience in mechatronic system design, specializing in translating complex requirements into robust and scalable solutions.
Quantum systems are highly sensitive to environmental influences, such as electromagnetic, dynamics and thermodynamics. This makes them ideal for sensing applications.
We engineer these sensors from proof-of-concept to a reliable product, ready for scaling. This often involves miniaturization, including modules such as optics, RF & magnetic bias, cryogenics, vacuum or gas reservoirs.
As qubit density increases, chip verification tools must evolve with it. Our extensive experience in designing metrology, inspection & qualification systems is rooted in semiconductor industry standards.
We apply this knowledge to develop high-throughput and high-precision test equipment for quantum chips.
The innovative systems we design and develop for our customers are never one-dimensional. The more closely the required competencies are interwoven, the better it suits us.
Silicon spin, superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers require accurate control of electromagnetic fields to maximize coherence times and fidelity.
We specialize in modeling, optimization, and control of electromagnetic environments. From DC to AC to RF. Our expertise in active and passive shielding ensures ultra stable conditions for quantum applications.
From early-stage feasibility studies to functional prototypes, we manage the full development cycle. Our strength lies in our ability to integrate disciplines such as precision mechanics, thermal control optics, and control engineering into robust high-performance solutions
There’s vacuum, Ultra-High Vacuum, and then there is Extreme High-Vacuum. To avoid interactions with random particles, trapped ion and neutral atom systems go down to the 10-11 - 10-13 mbar range.
Our expertise in the design of vacuum systems , including design with outgassing sensitive components, often involves cryogenic technology to meet these stringent requirements.
Heat is noise in quantum systems, makin accurate temperature control very important. Quantum systems often operate at extremely low temperatures - ranging from sub-Kelvin to tens of Kelvin. Respectively used for superconducting quantum computers, to single photon generation and detection, and trapped ion and neutral atom systems.
We design thermal control solutions across temperature ranges, whether it’s thermal control at cryogenic temperatures, with extremely low vibrations, design of thermal interfaces, for optimal heat transfer or material selection, in combination with other challenging requirements.
Optics are at the heart of many Quantum technologies. In Quantum communication, lasers store and retrieve information in cryogenically cooled crystals.
In quantum sensing, Nitrogen Vacancy (NV)-center-based magnetometers detect minuscule changes in magnetic fields by analyzing photons emitted from NV-center diamonds.
Our opto-mechatronic system engineering expertise extends to active & passive alignment, Laser beam shaping, metrology, (optical) system modeling, design, assembly & testing and industrialization.
Testing densely packed qubits requires extremely accurate precision positioning tooling, similar to the semiconductor industry. These positioning systems, sometimes operating at cryogenic temperatures and executing specialized tests, need to scale and evolve alongside the quantum chips.
We rely on our extensive experience, developing and realizing positioning systems with extreme accuracy and specifications for many of the world’s biggest OEM’s in semicon equipment.
With our in-depth knowledge of opto-mechatronics, cryogenics, vacuum design, magnetic shielding, thermal control, and multiphysics simulation, we have the right skill set to develop the solution that best suits your quantum innovation.
