  • Launch of the aQuSiS Project: Acceptor-Based Quantum Systems in Silicon
    Color centers such as the G- or T-center in silicon are currently used as the building blocks for silicon-based quantum technology. The aQuSiS research project aims to realize indium-based acceptor defects as readily accessible quantum systems for the first time. The increased understanding of the structure and functioning of this elementary quantum building block could serve as the foundation for its continued integration into modern quantum technologies [Read more]
  • Project Completion NH3-BZ: Photoacoustic Sensor for Hydrogen Production
    The sensing cell is designed to determine the residual ammonia content in a dry N₂/H₂ gas mixture—a blend of nitrogen (N₂) and hydrogen (H₂) containing 75% hydrogen by volume—and is intended to enable real-time monitoring. The developed solution is based on innovative thermal emitters and operates without a chopper. Custom sensor elements can be quickly integrated [Read more]
