In the International System of Units, a realization of the impedance units is the quantum Hall effect, a macroscopic quantum phenomenon that produces quantized resistance values. Established experiments employ individual GaAs devices [1], but research is ongoing on novel materials such as graphene, which allows the realization of the units with relaxed experimental conditions. Furthermore, novel digital impedance bridges allow the implementation of simple traceability chains. In the framework of the European EMPIR project 18SIB07 GIQS (Graphene Impedance Quantum Standards), an affordable and easy-to-operate impedance standard combining novel digital impedance bridges and graphene quantum standards has been developed. An onsite comparison of an electronic and a Josephson impedance bridges developed at INRIM (Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica, Italy) and PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Germany), respectively, were organized for their mutual validation and to assess their performance in the realization of the farad.Measurements of temperature-controlled impedance standards and of a graphene quantized Hall resistance standard in the AC regime were performed with both INRIM’s and PTB’s bridges. The result of the comparison and the last progresses of the GIQS project are here presented.
