Closing Event of the Quantum Year 2025 in Münster

On November 15, AMO participated in the festive closing event of the Quantum Year in Münster, held under the patronage of the German Physical Society (DPG) to mark the 100th anniversary of quantum physics. Our projects QSPEC and ATIQ, funded by the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space, were represented at the AMO booth […]

Evaporated aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) single-mode waveguides with less than 0.7 dB/cm propagation loss at 405 nm

Pleased to share our latest publication – congrats to first author Tunahan Gök for driving this work forward. In this work, we present single-mode waveguides fabricated from evaporated amorphous Al₂O₃, achieving propagation losses as low as 0.68 ± 0.03 dB/cm at 405 nm. The waveguides, produced using a Cr hard mask and EBL on a 3 µm […]

Sputtered aluminum nitride waveguides achieve record low propagation loss in telecom spectrum

A collaboration between AMO GmbH and Fraunhofer IAF demonstrates the potential of sputtered aluminum nitride for photonic applications in the telecom spectrum. Aluminum nitride (AlN) is emerging as an outstanding material for photonic waveguide applications. The best results to date have been achieved with AlN grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), while sputtered […]

ATIQ: bringing ion-trap-based quantum computers closer to applications

AMO GmbH is one of the partners of the project “ATIQ -Quantum Computers with Stored Ions for Applications”, a major initiative funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with the goal of developing a first generation of reliable, user-friendly and 24/7 available quantum-computer demonstrators based on ion trap technology.
