The EU's Chips Joint Undertaking and Pasqal have launched Q-PLANET, a €50M pilot line to standardize manufacturing of neutral atom quantum chips across 28 European research and industrial partners. The initiative will develop open Process Design Kits (PDKs) and Assembly Design Kits (ADKs) for laser-on-chip systems, atom chips, and microfabricated vapor cells, bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and industrial-scale production.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Quantum Computing and Semiconductors.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're building quantum sensing, atomic clocks, or Rydberg field sensors, you no longer need to engineer custom laser and atom chip modules from scratch—Europe just published the blueprints and will fund your first production run. Call Pasqal's partners now; the PDKs are coming in 18 months and the foundries are already allocated.
