Engineering for Quantum That Fits
Progress in NV-based quantum sensing increasingly depends on experiments that operate as coherent systems, not just on individual components or theory.
The challenge for research institutes and public labs is evolving experimental setups into stable, reproducible systems that deliver consistent results day-to-day.
This webinar highlights two concrete NV sensing use cases from Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) and Jožef Stefan Institute (IJS), focusing on real engineering decisions that improved reliability and reproducibility in quantum sensing experiments.
Whether you’re at a research institute working on quantum sensing demonstrators, a quantum startup building on NV technology, or an innovation manager evaluating consortium opportunities, this session provides transferable lessons from teams that have tackled these challenges in practice.
What You’ll Learn
- How SAL’s GIRAFFE experiment achieved fully embedded RFSoC-based control
See how Silicon Austria Labs developed a fully embedded control system for NV-based quantum gyroscope experiments, achieving high-fidelity operation without external PC dependencies. Learn the engineering decisions behind RFSoC implementation and deterministic timing. - How IJS NV experiments address reproducibility and synchronisation
Understand the practical challenges Jožef Stefan Institute faced in making NV center experiments reproducible and properly synchronized. Discover specific solutions that improved experimental consistency and day-to-day reliability.
- Engineering decisions that improved day-to-day reliability
Hear real examples of technical choices that made the difference between experiments that “work sometimes” and systems that “work consistently.” Learn what worked, what didn’t, and what the teams would do differently.
- Transferable lessons for other labs and demonstrators
Take away practical insights you can apply to your own quantum sensing experiments, whether you’re building demonstrators for research, preparing consortium proposals, or planning commercialization paths.
- Grants matchmaking
