Myfab Chalmers

In a significant move to bolster the nation’s semiconductor industry, the Myfab laboratories have been awarded substantial funding through a new initiative by the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth. This initiative aims to enhance the semiconductor ecosystem across Sweden and further strengthen the Swedish participation in the Chips Joint Undertaking.  

Quantum computers need extreme cooling for reliable calculations, with qubits requiring temperatures close to absolute zero. Researchers at Chalmers and the University of Maryland have developed a new refrigerator that autonomously cools superconducting qubits to record low temperatures, enhancing the reliability of quantum computation.

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and at the University of Magdeburg in Germany have developed a novel type of nanomechanical resonator that combines two important features: high mechanical quality and piezoelectricity. This development could open doors to new possibilities in quantum sensing technologies.
