Angstrom in India: Bangalore

We have partners in every region of the world. Scientists, engineers, and business people from dozens of countries look to Angstrom Engineering to supply the right tool, the right process, and the expertise to bring their projects forward. Dr. Praveen Ramamurthy from the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India is one such individual. His group focuses on broad scope, interdisciplinary research of organic/polymer-based devices, studying their fundamental properties for applications like photovoltaics, organic field-effect transistors, sensors and actuators.

Bangalore is a city of almost 9 million people and is known as the ‘Silicon Valley of India’

“We recently visited Dr. Ramamurthy at his lab, and talked with him about his experience with Angstrom.”

What gets you excited about your research?

“We get the opportunity to work on innovative new technologies. The possibility that these lines of inquiry could have positive social impact is very exciting.”

What made you choose Angstrom Engineering for your deposition hardware?

“The systems Angstrom produce have the look and feel of very professional tools, more than anything else out there that I’ve seen. Angstrom systems are also very customizable, which is very important in the research field.”

Based on your experience with Angstrom, what would you recommend we do to serve our partners?

You should never stop listening to your customers as you currently do because it establishes an important, and valuable relationship. Also, the spectrum of products you offer is fantastic.

Having arrived in Brazil, our partner’s logistics team takes the lead, taking it out of the wooden box so that it can fit through the door of the facility. The journey resulted in the standard small bumps and dents that are categorized and logged so that our installation team can quickly and effectively get the system up and running, which they do.

Finally, all that’s left to do is to fabricate some superconducting circuits, and further the field of quantum computing. Our partners at Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Fisicas (CBPF) expressed their excitement at having gained the capabilities  of partnering with us in this translated LinkedIn post:

 

It is with great enthusiasm that we announce the arrival of the newest equipment, from Angstrom Engineering, to the Quantum Technologies Laboratory of CBPF. This laboratory is complementary to Labnano, one of the strategic laboratories of SisNANO – the National System of Nanotechnology Laboratories of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI).

SisNANO is comprised of a set of laboratories focused on research, development and innovation (RD&I) in nanosciences and nanotechnologies, with the essential characteristic of being multi-user and open access to public and private institutions.

Acquired with funding from Finep and support from MCTI, the new equipment will allow CBPF to advance in the manufacture of superconducting quantum nanodevices, such as Josephson junctions and SQUIDS. These devices are essential for the development of future quantum chips, which promise to transform areas such as computing, secure communication and metrology.

The impact of this advance is also connected to related projects funded by FAPERJ, CNPq and Petrobras, consolidating a robust research ecosystem in Brazil.

This achievement reinforces the commitment of CBPF and MCTI to leading the frontier of scientific research, contributing to enabling the country to compete in a global scenario marked by disruptive and strategic advances.

We would like to thank the institutions involved and the professionals who made this achievement possible. We invite the scientific, technological and industrial community to closely monitor the transformative results that this new infrastructure will provide.
