EQUSPACE (Enabling New Quantum Frontiers with Spin Acoustics in Silicon), which aims to establish a complete silicon-based quantum information system, received its money via the Innovation Council\u2019s Pathfinder Open funding programme<\/a>, part of the Horizon scheme.<\/p>\n It was one of 45 recipients out of an initial 1,110 funding applications to the programme, which invests in multidisciplinary consortia for early-stage projects that have the potential to create new markets and address global changes.<\/p>\n Quantum research is important because it can lead to new technologies that improve our lives and the environment.<\/p>\n It has led to the development of several modern devices, including:<\/p>\n Quantum research also helps solve complex problems, such as removing pollution from the air, developing new battery technologies and handling large amounts of data.<\/p>\n Led by Finland\u2019s University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4, the consortium includes Finnish startup SemiQon Oy and three other institutes: VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e.V. in Germany, and NWO Institute AMOLF in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n Mikko M\u00f6nkk\u00f6nen, Dean of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4\u2019s Faculty of Mathematics and Science, commented: \u201cAwarding the coordination responsibilities of international quantum research projects to the University of Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 shows the high level of our research.<\/p>\n \u201cThis funding will significantly strengthen the already strong field of quantum research at our university.\u201d<\/p>\nThe importance of global quantum research<\/h3>\n
