Taking a leap into the future
The Netherlands is ready for the quantum decade
A strong national ecosystem
What is Quantum
Delta NL?
The Netherlands is a vibrant international hotspot for quantum technology, with leading science, technology and talent. With Quantum Delta NL, we are creating a fully functional national ecosystem for excellence in quantum innovation, for highly talented professionals to bring quantum computers, quantum networks and quantum sensors to the market.
- Forging strong bonds between our five major quantum research hubs and affiliated universities and research centres
- Accelerating developments in network creation, in simulation and in applications in three catalyst (CAT) programmes
- Strengthening large-scale facilities across the country in five locations for nanotechnological research in a National Cleanroom Infrastructure programme
- Kicking off four action programmes to facilitate research and cooperation and to boost social readiness levels
Dutch Quantum computing startups join hands to create IMPAQT consortium
Traditionally quantum computer development (QC) has been done with a monolithic approach – one entity manufacturing and sourcing all components. This is costly, time-consuming and risky. In order to accelerate quantum computer development, IMPAQT envisions a modular approach: Independent companies focus on different parts of the stack. In December 2020 members of the IMPAQT consortium signed an agreement to collaborate on ensuring that different building blocks of QC are interfaced well. In the future, this will allow quantum computer manufacturers to easily integrate subsystems.
