Bar-Ilan University's Zektzer lab is advancing quantum scalability by integrating atoms with photonic chips to enable semiconductor-compatible fabrication methods. This approach addresses critical bottlenecks in cost and temperature requirements, moving the field from manual prototypes toward mass-producible devices that could democratize access to quantum experimentation. The work represents a significant step toward practical, chip-scale quantum systems rather than just theoretical improvements.
Bar-Ilan University’s Zektzer lab aims to put quantum systems on a single chip

Roy Zektzer’s lab at Bar-Ilan University is developing scalable quantum systems, integrating atoms & photonic chips.
Since 2025, Roy Zektzer has led a research group at Bar-Ilan University focused on a critical challenge in quantum technology: scalability. Zektzer’s work integrates atoms and photonic chips, aiming to move beyond laboratory prototypes toward systems that can be manufactured at scale. He previously demonstrated room temperature operation of quantum photonic interfaces, a key step toward practicality given most quantum systems require near absolute zero temperatures. “Once the technology is easy to fabricate, it becomes much easier to study,” Zektzer explains, envisioning a future…
