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
First European Quantum Computer
In the context of the CAT 1 programme, the first demonstrator has been launched: Quantum Inspire. This platform offers access to two promising qubit types from Delft and an emulator for SURFsara, the supercomputer in Amsterdam. Quantum Inspire provides simultaneous access to multiple high-potential qubit platforms. Combining solid hardware with software development is also unique: you can test applications on a real system. And, unlike commercial platforms, Quantum Inspire is no black box; this open platform allows users to create their own value.
European Quantum Software Institute launched in Paris
On November 8th, the European Quantum Software Institute (EQSI) was launched with a stakeholder event in Paris. EQSI aims to further align development processes and jointly achieve responsible innovation in Europe for Quantum Software and Quantum Algorithms, through co-creation with industry and Quantum Hardware partners.
3 questions to Caleb Meyer on QDNL white paper (1/3): Lessons from AI – stakeholder engagement
During last week’s Centre for Quantum and Society launch, we announced the creation of a white paper series: Quantum & Society – Lessons from AI. The first white paper, on stakeholder engagement, is available for download starting today. We asked 3 questions to contributor Caleb Mayer of the University of Tilburg.
Launching the world’s first Centre for Quantum and Society
On November 3rd, Quantum Delta NL launched the Centre for Quantum and Society (CQS). This is the world’s first centre of expertise for the societal impact of quantum technologies.CQS stands as a co-creation Centre where businesses, governments, societal organizations, scientists, and citizens come together to research and co-create ethical, legal, and societal standards. It aims at guiding the development of quantum technologies and their applications to the benefit of society, and boost social readiness levels.
