A silicon qubit tester recently acquired by CEA-Leti will substantially speed up quantum computer research. The tester can measure the electrical performance of several hundred qubits processed on a 300 mm wafer at 1.7 K (-271.3 °C). The qubits that make it through these tests will then be tested individually on a cryostat at Institut […] >>

A new shape-recognition sensor developed by CEA-Leti and STMicroelectronics is making headlines for its extremely-low power consumption, which, at 10 microwatts, is 1,000 times lower than commercially-available solutions. Five years in the making, the innovation is protected by a handful of patents on its pixel reading mode, data formatting, machine learning algorithms, optimized architecture, and […] >>

An 18 µm conical gallium arsenide microwire with a quantum dot at its base could one day help connect the traditinal and quantum worlds. This novel device was developed by a research consortium* that included scientists from Irig. The advance could pave the way toward the development of ultra-sensitive sensors and quantum information technologies one […] >>

The Clinatec Endowment Fund is now running its own R&D programs at Clinatec leveraging CEA know-how and technologies. The change comes after Clinatec began offering contract R&D services to companies. Donations to the Clinatec Endowment Fund must be used separately from these contract R&D budgets and be allocated solely to public-interest projects. The Endowment Fund […] >>

Irig recently received a 250 kV X-ray irradiator with a maximum dose rate of 10 Gy/min. The new equipment is dedicated to the CEA’s radiobiology program, where it is being used by the four Irig labs that provided the funds for the purchase. The labs are investigating the effects of low doses on cells and […] >>
