About us

The National Quantum Federated Foundry (NQFF) is a national-level platform in Singapore to build capabilities in designing, fabricating, and characterising micro- and nano- devices that are essential for quantum technologies. This research foundry does not own and maintain a cleanroom but access the existing network of cleanrooms in Singapore while augmenting them with new and unique capabilities to develop key recipes important to quantum technologies. It is incubated at the Institute of Material Research and Engineering (IMRE), while NQFF works closely with the Institute of Microelectronics (IME), both being part of the A*STAR family. In IMRE, NQFF has state-of-the-art design and characterisation facilities to cater to device characterisation. The NQFF team members perform the fabrication of devices at IME as well as in other cleanrooms, such as the Centre for Advanced 2D Materials (CA2DM) and E6NanoFab at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

  • In January, we hosted the Quantum Engineering Programme (QEP) 2.0 reviewers at NQFF and had insightful discussions with the review panel on the outlook of successes of our projects and in translating these developments into viable quantum technologies for the next phase of NQFF under QEP3.0. We are excited to work together with our partners and the rest of the quantum ecosystem in building upon these achievements. If interested to explore potential partnerships or opportunities for collaboration, please reach out! #NationalQuantumFederatedFoundry #QuantumTechnologies #QuantuminSingapore

    We are delighted to reach another milestone in the Quantum Engineering Programme (QEP): the Final Review for QEP 2.0 has been completed! QEP 2.0 was vested with translational research focused on industry challenges and initiatives to nurture the local quantum ecosystem. From 22 January 2025 to 24 January 2025, an international panel of quantum experts reviewed the programme and provided recommendations. The three National Quantum Programmes — the National Quantum Computing Hub (NQCH), National Quantum Federated Foundry (NQFF), and the National Quantum-Safe Network (NQSN), all presented the advances made towards providing enabling technologies for translating quantum science into technology. The programme saw exciting developments in quantum-safe communications trialled across Singapore, and toward establishing local quantum computing and fabrication capabilities. There were also exciting outcomes from several projects such as quantum sensors for magnetometry, biomedical applications, gravimetry, and photonic implementations looking for partnerships for future applications. The next phase of the programme, QEP3.0, will continue to focus on translating Singapore’s quantum science research into viable quantum technologies. We would like to thank the Review Panel, which consists of Professor Wong Chee Wei, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Professor Norbert Lütkenhaus, Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo, Professor Charles Clark, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Bill Munro, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation Basic Research, Professor Tim Spiller, University of York, Professor Kae Nemoto, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), and Associate Professor Troy Lee, Centre for Quantum Software and Information, University of Technology Sydney, for their contributions to the shaping of the Singapore quantum landscape.

    Looking back at 📍NQFF Singapore! Attending the #NQFF Industry Day: Superconducting Circuits reinforced our commitment to advancing quantum technology on a global scale. It was clear that Singapore’s interest in superconducting qubits is growing, with discussions focused on the practical steps needed for wider adoption. After his talk on the increasing demand for reliable and scalable fabrication processes of superconducting quantum circuits, Dr. Thijs Stavenga received several thoughtful questions from attendees which sparked conversations on the current approaches to developing, scaling, and optimising superconducting qubit systems within Singapore’s quantum ecosystem. This engagement highlighted the resonance of our Open Architecture model within the quantum community. Many thanks to the organisers for hosting this delightful and insightful event! We’re excited to build on these connections and continue supporting the evolving superconducting quantum landscape in Singapore and beyond. Looking forward to seeing this momentum grow!
