Archer Materials (ASX:AXE) Advances Quantum Technology with EDMR Breakthrough
Quantum Technology Milestone
Archer Materials Limited (ASX:AXE) has successfully demonstrated on-chip electrical detection of electron spin resonance (EDMR) on its carbon-based qubit material. This breakthrough offers a readout method for Archer’s qubits and opens possibilities for highly sensitive magnetic sensor applications.
Collaboration with EPFL
In partnership with École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Archer conducted early measurements at cryogenic temperatures between 17 K and 25 K, validating the EDMR approach. The team is now working on integrating EDMR capabilities onto microfabricated devices and aims to achieve functionality at higher temperatures.
Advantages Over Traditional Systems
Unlike traditional diamond-based optical systems, Archer’s electrical spin detection using EDMR simplifies hardware, reduces costs, and enables smaller, integrated devices compatible with conventional semiconductor electronics.
Executive Comments
CEO Dr. Simon Ruffell stated, “Electrical detection of spin resonance in carbon films is a critical milestone for Archer. By moving beyond optical readout methods used in diamond‑based systems, our technology promises simpler, more scalable quantum sensors as well as being another enabler for qubit readout. This work has provided the team with another technical building block to contribute to qubit demonstration next year.”
