Rihards Novickis, Senior Researcher at EDI, participated in the Cynergy4MIE project General Assembly, representing the Institute of Electronics and Computer Science.
During the event, Rihards took part in discussions on the technology readiness level of quantum technologies, their development, and future integration activities. The sensor will be used to improve battery management systems, where a quantum sensor will measure the magnetic field generated by charging and discharging cycles. This will provide deeper insight into battery operation and enable the development of more accurate models. Such models are important because they can help extend battery lifetime.
EDI’s objective within the Cynergy4MIE project is to further miniaturize quantum sensors based on NV (nitrogen-vacancy) center defects. EDI is developing the quantum sensor readout electronics, with its digital component being implemented as an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), using open-source chip design tools and European semiconductor manufacturing technologies.
