Quantum Computing & Simulation

Realising the Unlimited Possibilities of Quantum Probabilities

What if we could build devices to help researchers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers solve problems that our current computers or supercomputers would need decades – or even centuries – to answer? Quantum computers have the potential to provide computational power that, for example, could help scientists better model climate change, create new drugs and medical treatments and solve complex logistical problems to speed deliveries and save fuel. Quantum simulators can help scientists study quantum systems and solve specific problems in quantum physics that are difficult to solve with classical computing

Quantum computers and quantum simulators rely on quantum-mechanical phenomena to make complex calculations. That gives them the potential to solve certain types of problems – such as factoring large numbers and simulating chemical and quantum systems – much faster than classical computers.

At QDNL, we’re building a collaborative community dedicated to turning this quantum potential into real-world solutions. Through our Quantum Inspire program, QDNL members – from across industries, disciplines and pursuits – have the chance to tap the power of our quantum computers and quantum simulators to explore solutions to society's biggest challenges and reveal truths hidden in science’s deepest mysteries.

As a member of our community, you will not only be boosting European innovation and competitiveness and guarding its technological sovereignty, but helping usher in tomorrow’s global quantum era.

Information about CAT 1 Quantum computing and simulation

Information session Jan 9, 2024

On 9 Jan 2024, we held a virtual Information Session to inform the wider community about what the CAT-1 phase 3 proposal will look like. In case you missed it or want to rewatch it, we have recorded the session. View the Information Session in the video.

Bluefors opens Lab in Delft

During the APS March Meeting earlier this month, Bluefors announced the opening of the Bluefors Lab in Delft. With this lab, they offer companies in the early phases of R&D a way to perform quantum measurements, without the need to invest in a dilution refrigerator measurement system.
