CHAMP-ION Pilot Line

CHAMP-ION is advancing Europe’s leadership in ion-trap quantum technologies by establishing a sustainable pilot line network for high-quality ion-trap chip production.

The initiative connects the full value chain, from design and microfabrication to testing, enabling scalable ion-trap chips with integrated electronic and photonic features. By creating Europe’s first open-access pilot production capabilities and developing advanced Process Design Kits (PDKs), CHAMP-ION supports innovation and accelerates the transition of quantum technologies from research to industry.

CHAMP-ION, the European Ion Trap Pilot Line, is supported by the CHIPS JU, Horizon Europe and the
National Public Authorities of the partners involved in the Framework Partnership Agreement Grant No.
