Its mission is to conduct research, realize, maintain, and disseminate the national measurement standards of the International System of Units (SI). As a signatory of the Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) within the framework of the Metre Convention, INRiM realizes and maintains the national measurement standards that ensure traceability and legal validity of measurements across industry, scientific research, healthcare, environmental monitoring, and other sectors where metrology plays a critical role.
The Institute’s research activities are therefore strongly oriented toward applied innovation, particularly in support of its role as the National Metrology Institute.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]PiQuET CLEANROOM – Piemonte Quantum Enabling Technology
Dedicated Webpage: https://piquetlab.it/

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]PiQuET (Piemonte Quantum Enabling Technologies) is a research infrastructure jointly operated by the Italian National Institute of Metrological Research (INRiM), Politecnico di Torino and the University of Turin. Established through the Piemonte Regional Operational Programme (POR-FESR), PiQuET serves as a strategic hub for micro- and nanofabrication, advanced materials, quantum technologies and metrology. Its mission is to provide researchers and industrial partners with state-of-the-art facilities for the design, fabrication and characterization of next-generation devices.
At the core of the infrastructure is a large ISO 14644-1 cleanroom facility comprising ISO 5, ISO 6 and ISO 7 environments and more than 40 advanced fabrication and characterization tools. The facility supports the complete manufacturing chain of micro- and nano-devices, from design and lithography to thin-film deposition, etching, packaging and functional characterization. PiQuET represents an investment of approximately €20 million and constitutes one of Italy’s most advanced public infrastructures in the field of quantum and enabling technologies.
PiQuET provides technological capabilities in optical and electron-beam lithography, thin-film deposition, MEMS processing, advanced materials engineering and quantum-device fabrication. These capabilities are made available both to the scientific community and to industrial users, supporting innovation in sensing, communications, energy, biomedical technologies and advanced manufacturing.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]The PiQuET Team, composed by INRiM, PoliTo and UniTo staff, operates within two key areas of Quantum Technologies (QT):
a) the development of micro/nanostructured materials, devices and sensors and their integration in micro/nanosystems for the industry;
b) the application of QTs, atomic clocks and quantum communication on the territory using optical fibers.
The two themes are interrelated: quantum photonics requires micro/nanodevices, while quantum communication allows the realization of advanced sensor networks and their widespread and safe use.
