Paragraf and Archer Materials have announced a cooperative research and development program focused on graphene-based quantum computing and sensing technologies designed to support next-generation quantum device architectures. The collaboration combines Paragraf’s graphene electronics manufacturing platform with Archer Materials’ work in quantum-enabling devices, advanced materials, and quantum device engineering.
Graphene continues attracting significant interest across the quantum computing and advanced electronics sectors because of its high electronic mobility, low electrical noise characteristics, thermal conductivity, and atomic-scale thickness. Researchers and semiconductor developers are increasingly evaluating graphene and other advanced materials for use in quantum sensing, control systems, photonics, and quantum information processing.
The program focuses on development of graphene-based device structures intended to address challenges involving quantum bit detection, quantum measurement, and next-generation quantum computing hardware. At the center of the collaboration is research involving graphene architectures designed to interface with emerging quantum systems and support advanced qubit detection technologies.

“Our graphene technology was developed to be manufacturable at scale while maintaining the exceptional properties of graphene,” said Simon Thomas, CEO of Paragraf. “By working closely with Archer Materials, we are able to explore advanced device concepts in both quantum detection and computing that extend the capabilities of our platform.”
Archer Materials contributes expertise involving quantum materials, device physics, sensing technologies, and quantum hardware development intended to accelerate the transition of experimental graphene concepts into commercially viable device platforms.
The collaboration reflects broader industry efforts to identify scalable materials and semiconductor-compatible manufacturing approaches capable of supporting future quantum computing infrastructure and advanced sensing systems.
“This collaboration reflects our strategy of partnering with world-class technology developers to unlock the potential of advanced materials,” said Simon Ruffell, CEO of Archer Materials. “Graphene offers unique advantages for both quantum devices and sensors, and Paragraf’s platform provides an exceptional foundation to realize those advantages in real-world devices.”
The joint development effort is expected to support future technologies spanning quantum computing, advanced sensing, and next-generation electronics markets.
