Description

PiQuET – Piemonte Quantum Enabling Technology – is an applied research infrastructure with the aim of implementing and developing quantum micro and nano technology processes.

PiQuET originated from a winning proposal in the framework of the POR FESR 2014-2020 call (Action: I.1a.5.1 Misura: INFRA-P Sostegno a progetti per la realizzazione, il rafforzamento e l'ampliamento di IR pubbliche), implemented by the Piedmont Region. The proposal, which became a project, coordinated by the National Institute of Metrological Research (INRiM), with the participation of the Politecnico di Torino (PoliTO), in particular the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) and the Department of Physics of the University of Studies in Turin (UniTo), received initial funding of 6 million Euros (50% co-financed).

Its completion is scheduled for the second half of 2020.

PiQuET has the intent to be the regional reference centre where scientific challenges and engineering problems are faced both in support of Advanced research and industrial innovation in the field of micro, nano and quantum technologies, thanks to a consolidated know-how coming from the major scientific poles of the region.
