Convegno Nazionale ACDC_Q 2026 opens in Matera

Convegno Nazionale ACDC_Q 2026 opens at the Centro Spaziale ASI Giuseppe Colombo in Matera on 2026-10-08 and 2026-10-09. Monia Vadrucci opens the meeting.

The conference opens on 2026-10-08 and 2026-10-09 at the Centro Spaziale ASI Giuseppe Colombo in Matera.

Monia Vadrucci opens the meeting. The record lists 16 talks, 6 thematic areas, 14 institutions, and universities, research bodies, infrastructures and companies across Italy.

The conference is partnered with ACDC_Q. ACDC_Q, Advanced Circuits for Detection and Control of Diamond Quantum Sensors, is funded by Horizon Europe under HORIZON-CL4-2024-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01 with number 101189875. Its record gives 2025-01-01, 48 months, 8 partners and 5 countries, and it develops advanced circuits and readout for NV diamond quantum sensors.

Listed partner roles are IMEC for microelectronics and electrical readout of NV centers, Infineon Technologies Austria for industrial semiconductor processes, OEAW for the physics of diamond sensors, Kwan-Tek for diamond magnetometers, Thales for large systems and remote monitoring, PTB for performance calibration and ASI for space magnetometry requirements and scenarios.

ASI's milestones are design, experimental validation and qualification, and ASI optimizes density and defectivity of NV centers. ASI is related to ASIF, which has qualified facilities for radiation tests and space qualification.

ACDC_Q lists 3 scenarios, and the conference record lists a milestone of 22 months. The payload entry lists CubeSat, constellations, lander and rover.

For readers tracking the lunar industry, these facts tie diamond quantum sensors to space magnetometry requirements and scenarios, a payload entry listing CubeSat, constellations, lander and rover, and qualified facilities for radiation tests and space qualification.
