SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 10, 2020 — Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology Ltd. has joined its parent company, Oxford Instruments plc, as an industry partner of the Quantum Foundry at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). The foundry, which is the first of its kind in the nation, was founded through the National Science Foundation’s Q-AMASE-i initiative last year to develop materials and interfaces to host the coherent quantum states needed to power quantum-based electronics. Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology has joined the Quantum Foundry at UCSB to further develop its quantum technology solutions. Courtesy of Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology. Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology develops nanofabrication solutions used in the manufacture of quantum device platforms, including superconducting qubits diamond nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers, and integrated photonics-based qubits.
