Purpose and goal
The project develops Sweden Quantum’s HERD technology into next-generation infrared filters for superconducting quantum computers. The goal is to design and test miniaturized prototypes with high IR attenuation and low microwave loss for scalable quantum systems.
Expected effects and result
The project will deliver validated HERD prototypes, performance data, and a commercial plan for future production, strengthening Sweden’s position in quantum technology and enabling scalable quantum computers.
Planned approach and implementation
The project is organized into five work packages: requirements, prototype design, cryogenic testing, commercial and IP strategy, and project management. The work follows a clear timeline from November 2025 to April 2026, linking technical development, validation, and market preparation.
