Prof. Dr. Ronald Hanson zal na de zomer van 2023 zijn functie als bestuursvoorzitter van de Stichting Quantum Delta NL (QDNL) neerleggen om zich volledig te gaan richten op onderzoek en commercialisatie van quantum internet technologie. Ronald heeft de afgelopen jaren een bepalende rol gespeeld in het snelgroeiende ecosysteem rond quantumtechnologie onder andere als trekker van de Nationale Agenda Quantum Technologie (2019), voorzitter van QDNL’s Raad van Toezicht (2020-2021) en de laatste twee jaar als voorzitter van het bestuur. Daarnaast leidt hij als hoogleraar aan de TU Delft een onderzoeksteam binnen het onderzoeksinstituut QuTech. Hij zal voor de Stichting beschikbaar blijven als adviseur. Ronald Hanson is naast bestuursvoorzitter van QDNL ook het wetenschappelijk boegbeeld van het Nederlandse Quantum ecosysteem. Zijn onderzoek verschijnt regelmatig in de internationale media, en hij ontving vele onderscheidingen voor zijn wetenschappelijk werk, waaronder de hoogste Nederlandse wetenschappelijke onderscheiding, de Spinoza premie, in 2019. Ronald: ‘Ik kijk met veel trots terug op de afgelopen vier jaar, waarin we een ambitieus nationaal plan hebben weten te formuleren en we, dankzij het Nationaal Groeifonds, de mogelijkheid hebben gekregen om dit uit te voeren. Ik hou ervan dingen op te bouwen, en QDNL is een prachtig gebouw geworden met fantastische mensen waarmee we echt het verschil kunnen maken in de ontwikkeling en commercialisatie van quantumtechnologie. Afgelopen jaren heb ik met heel veel plezier en inspiratie samengewerkt met vele collega’s in het ecosysteem. Met het succes van QDNL is dit een goed moment voor mij om nieuwe uitdagingen aan te gaan, en kijk er dan ook naar uit om me vol te kunnen storten op de kansen die quantum internet technologie biedt”.De Raad van Toezicht is Ronald zeer erkentelijk voor alles wat hij heeft gedaan voor het Nederlandse Quantum ecosysteem en het Quantum Delta NL team, en hoopt ook in de toekomst van zijn buitengewone expertise te kunnen blijven profiteren.

“Onder de bezielende leiding van Ronald zijn de Nationale Agenda en de Stichting QDNL tot stand gekomen. Het Nederlandse quantum ecosysteem staat er goed voor; Ronald kan in onze ogen dan ook met trots op de afgelopen jaren terugkijken.”

Carlo Beenakker vervolgt: “Samen met de andere QDNL-bestuursleden is een prachtig programma tot stand gekomen, dat voortvarend wordt uitgevoerd met steun van o.a. het Nationaal Groeifonds. Wij zijn Ronald erg dankbaar en kijken uit naar zijn volgende stappen binnen ons ecosysteem.&quot;Gezien de snelle ontwikkelingen op het gebied van quantumtechnologie, zowel nationaal als internationaal, en de vele projecten die worden uitgevoerd onder leiding van QDNL, zal de Raad van Toezicht op zeer korte termijn een ad-interim voorzitter aanstellen en is zij ook van start gegaan met het zoeken naar een structurele opvolger. Zodra hier meer over bekend is zal hierover worden gecommuniceerd.

With our childcare pilot programme, Quantum Delta NL and Women in Quantum Development aim to reduce some of the most pressing issues that prevent women from engaging in Europe’s fast-growing quantum community. One of the women that made use of this programme so far, is Subhasree Patro. Subhasree recently defended her PhD thesis and will be starting two postdoctoral positions, both at Utrecht University and at QuSoft. Below Subhasree shares her experience: “As a single mother of a 5-year-old child, it has not been always possible for me to go to conferences or on research visits especially when the conference is on a different continent. Conferences mostly don&#039;t have childcare facilities or funds for childcare. But this time, making use of the childcare programme, I could visit the FSTTCS 2022 conference, in India, in person along with my daughter. I gave two talks, one of which was an invited talk at the FSTTCS fine-grained cryptography workshop and one on a paper that got accepted to this conference. The experience of giving talks in person is much better when compared to giving a talk online. My talks resulted in several interactions and networking that wouldn’t have happened if I wasn&#039;t physically present. Having QDNL and WIQD take care of the travel costs for my daughter really helped me, clearly financially but more importantly by making this conference (almost) equally accessible to me as a mom as compared to any other PhD student. Also, I was able to make a research visit to CQT, NUS in Singapore allowing me to interact with other researchers and present some of my recent results.” Thanks, Subhasree, for sharing your story!  Read more on the Childcare Programme <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wiqd.nl/quantum-childcare-pilot-programme/">here</a>.

Florian Schreck is a professor of Experimental Quantum Physics at the University of Amsterdam and the coordinator of Catalyst Programme 3: Quantum Sensing Applications at Quantum Delta NL. He studied physics at the University of Konstanz in Germany and received his PhD from the École normale supérieure (ENS) in Paris. After a postdoctoral research appointment at the University of Texas, he joined Rudolf Grimm’s group at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Florian then established his own research group, which he moved to the Netherlands in 2013. He currently lives in Amsterdam with his girlfriend with whom he enjoys scuba diving trips.

How did you end up in quantum physics?

I was always interested in technical things. I built stuff at home – telescopes, robots, computer control systems – and participated in German youth science competitions. When I looked at what I would like to study, I didn’t want to decide. I liked all the natural sciences. I chose physics because from there you can go to biology or computer science or maths or whatever. It’s right in the middle.And it just so happened that quantum physics was very important in Konstanz. For my thesis, I chose the most interesting project that was available there at the time: trying to make the first Bose-Einstein condensate in Europe. We succeeded in that.I went to Paris for my PhD, where we tried to make the first quantum degenerate Fermi gases. I had an absolutely fabulous time there. Next, I worked on ultracold quantum gases in Texas. And then I went to Innsbruck, where I later started my own research group. We succeeded in being the first to make a quantum gas of the chemical element strontium.And that became the baseline for everything I did. We moved to Amsterdam in December 2013, won another grant, and began more and more cool experiments. We obtained funding through a European Quantum Flagship project, which I headed, then a Dutch Research Council (NWO) programme, and now Quantum Delta NL.

Could you give an example of the kind of research that you do?

We use ultracold atoms to develop extremely sensitive measurement devices for time and acceleration, which are needed for navigation for example. Take our quantum clock research line. To build a clock, you need some kind of frequency reference. If you only knew about classical physics, you would probably use a pendulum as your frequency reference. But a pendulum is a human-made object. If you want to build a second clock, you need to build a second pendulum. You will not be able to build a second pendulum that has exactly the same properties as the first pendulum. Basically, classical clocks can’t tick the same way.

"If you know about quantum physics, you can use quantum properties to build better clocks. Atoms, after all, are constructed by nature."

As far as we know, every atom of a specific isotope is identical to every other atom of that isotope. They are nature-made standard pieces. They give you perfect frequency references. All you need to do is read them out without destroying them.Now, the atoms can’t touch, because if they did, all the energy levels would shift around. So you need to use a gas of individual atoms. Think of the molecules in the air around you: at room temperature, they fly in all kinds of directions. That’s a problem for precision spectroscopy. But if you take a gas of atoms and cool it down to absolute zero, all the atoms will start behaving the same. You must cool them to essentially a standstill – hence, ultracold atoms. We use laser beams to slow the atoms down.

What do you do for Quantum Delta NL exactly?

I lead the ultracold quantum sensing testbed. One of our goals is to build a national quantum clock. Ultimately, we want to have a frequency reference that companies can subscribe to. This could be useful for precision timing for telecom companies, for example, or timestamping financial transactions.Another goal is to bring ultracold quantum sensing technology closer to the market. We want to launch start-ups and help companies develop the modules or subsystems necessary for this kind of technology. We’re also trying to build a user ecosystem. At the end of these seven years of Quantum Delta NL, we want components for quantum clocks on the market. The technology looks promising. There are huge start-ups being funded in Europe and the US based on this kind of technology, with millions of euros or dollars of funding.The toughest part of bringing this technology to the market are the laser systems. They’re horribly complicated. We will focus on making more compact and robust systems that can replace standard lab-built laser systems.

So you’re working with Quantum Delta NL to have this technology produced by companies. What’s that like? You’re a fundamental researcher, so it must be quite different for you, working with start-ups and businesses?

It was a big change for me. When I worked in Austria, we were forbidden to use research money to compete with companies. I feel like the drive to connect with companies is quite unique to the Netherlands. In the end, this is all Ministry of Economic Affairs money, so everything must have a vision towards application. It’s certainly different than thinking about fundamental research, but it’s also interesting. It’s a different type of challenge.What I’ve noticed is that companies don’t necessarily know what’s needed. We have to first educate them and talk to their engineers. The technology of a company often doesn’t match perfectly with what we need. We have to delineate which parts the company can do, and which parts we will have to do ourselves or differently. That process is still in the early stages.The thing is that our experiments are really complicated. It takes PhD students and postdocs a lot of time to build the required electronics or laser systems themselves. With this Quantum Delta NL research, we could outsource the construction of a laser system to one of the start-ups we are funding. And then the PhD students could focus more on the research and on assembling or designing the core of the experimental apparatus. It would all go much faster and ideally even be cheaper.

"My hope is that we will create a kind of feedback loop. By building up these start-ups and the industry, we develop tools that can feed back into our research and help us come to cool results and fundamental research. That research, in turn, will drive forward the application."

You’ve been in the Netherlands for almost ten years. How have you seen the Dutch quantum ecosystem change over those years?

It definitely grew more national, to many more cities. I think it was very Delft-centric initially. My research group moved to Amsterdam in 2013, but it didn’t particularly feel like it was part of something bigger back then. I felt a bit lonely here, doing my thing, which no one else in the Netherlands was doing.But then all this accelerated. There was the national Quantum Software Consortium, and probably many other developments I wasn’t completely aware of, like the quantum network activities. I got invited to a brainstorm session in Delft for the National Agenda Quantum Technology. I proposed the ultracold quantum sensing testbed, and other people came in with their sensing testbeds and we joined forces.When Ronald and Freeke and the people around them applied for this National Growth Fund proposal, it felt like becoming one family. Like coming together and trying to achieve synergy and really doing something together here. We have all these exciting projects going on.And it’s really working. For example, a famous scientist from France has accepted a joint position with Quantum Delta NL and the universities in Amsterdam and Eindhoven to help us build up the ultracold quantum sensing testbed. It’s a lighthouse effect, you know? Together, bundled up, you can see that it really is something, also from other countries.

Interview with Florian Schreck

April 14 – Today, Quantum Delta NL’s Centre for Quantum and Society launches the Exploratory Quantum Technology Assessment (EQTA), an innovative instrument designed to help organizations capitalize on the opportunities of quantum and identify the potential challenges associated to its application. It presents a referential resource that will allow organizations to make informed decisions on ethical, legal, and societal implications of quantum at an early stage in their planning.<a href="https://issuu.com/quantumdelta.nl/docs/eqta_-_english_version?fr=sNzhmNDU5NjY5ODE">Download the EQTA here.</a><a href="https://issuu.com/quantumdelta.nl/docs/eqta_working_document?fr=sODU2OTU5NjY5ODE">Download the working document here.</a>Developed by a working group of experts in the fields of science, technology, law, and ethics, the EQTA provides a set of necessary socio-technological requirements as a framework for the application of quantum technology. It offers dialogue techniques for organizations to gain insight into these requirements, develop courses of action, and monitor their effectiveness.Daniel Frijters, vice-chairman of the working group that created the EQTA, stressed the importance of this resource, by stating that this tool is the first step to addressing foreseen challenges, and developing a safe and well-governed ecosystem that guarantees the confidentiality and quality of data that quantum technology will be able to process.As quantum technology continues to evolve, the EQTA will serve as a valuable resource for organizations seeking to stay at the forefront of innovation while also promoting responsible and ethical use of technology.

“The manufacturing industry is working towards the industry 4.0 standard. Product design, material composition, supply chain optimization and trade secret security are some examples that benefit from the application of quantum computing and quantum sensing. The EQTA generates action perspectives for developers and (end) users within FME’s supporters.”

The EQTA step-by-step plan offers a guide for companies to:<ul><li>Make a quick scan that includes an orientation on quantum technology,</li><li>Draw timelines and possible applications,</li><li>Make a short description of what impact an organization might experience and/or which applications are relevant,</li><li>Make a short stakeholder analysis to define who will be experiencing impact,</li><li>Host a dialogue session to explore and test what is needed to make optimal use of the possibilities of quantum technology and, if necessary, to prevent negative effects.</li></ul>The EQTA builds on experiences of how new technology is given a place in society. It is inspired by the analysis of the Scientific Council for Government Policy on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on society and the<a href="https://ecp.nl/artificial-intelligence-impact-assessment/"> AI Impact Assessment</a>. This tool is fostered by Quantum Delta NL’s commitment to unlocking the full potential of quantum technology for the benefit of society.View both the EQTA and the accompanying working document below. The documents can be downloaded by clicking the download icon in the top left corner.Read more about activities by our Centre for Quantum and Society <a target="_blank" href="https://quantumdelta.nl/cqs/">here</a>.

“The EQTA quick scan helped us to better understand our first quantum computing project from a broader societal perspective. The approach has yielded insights that we will take to our vision on quantum and helps us approach other digital innovations in a socially responsible manner.”

Launching the Exploratory Quantum Technology Assessment

Yesterday, His Majesty the King Willem-Alexander and President Emmanuel Macron paid an official visit to our Amsterdam hub for a tour of the Quantum Gases &amp; Quantum Information Lab and a round table on the significance of quantum for European open strategic autonomy. The visit, as part of the three days state visit of President Macron to the Netherlands, reflects the intensive cooperation between the Netherlands and France in quantum.As an opportunity to showcase the facilities where pioneering research in the field of matter waves is conducted, Prof. Florian Schreck and Prof. Philippe Bouyer led an exclusive tour of the Quantum Gases &amp; Quantum Information Lab with the King and President Macron: our team presented the pioneering research in the field of matter waves and how this technology can improve future quantum sensors.

10.4 million euros

The lab’s ambition is to build a European shared metrology network that uses quantum sensors for various applications related to climate change, such as floods, dikes, and changes in the oceans.

Discussing quantum’s significance for EU strategic autonomy

Following the lab tour, the King, President Macron, Minister Adriaansens, and Ministers Lescure and Retailleau joined a round table discussion on the future of Deeptech in Europe. During this session, which was moderated by Freeke Heijman, the delegation spoke with a diverse group of French and Dutch CEOs, investors and academics. The discussion underlined the significance of quantum technology for Europe’s open strategic autonomy.

Trilateral collaboration

In the afternoon, Ministers Robbert Dijkgraaf and Sylvie Retailleau, both quantum physicists, reinforced the long-standing academic relations of our countries, formalised in a bilateral MoU and a <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7010634641590169600">trilateral statement together with Germany</a>.

Earlier that morning, our board member Pieter de Witte took part in the signing of the French-Dutch Innovation Pact for Innovation and sustainable growth during a round table led by VNO-NCW. Quantum technology is one of four central themes of the Pact.On the first evening of the visit to the Netherlands, a State Banquet took place in the Royal Palace in Amsterdam, for which Quantum Delta NL’s Director of Ecosystem Freeke Heijman and Strategic Partnerships Lead Ulrich Mans had the honour to be on the guest list.We greatly thank all teams helping to arrange this wonderful occasion and all involved for their contribution to this successful visit.

King Willem-Alexander and President Macron take quantum to the agenda during state visit to NL

Quantum Delta NL just published the second white paper on quantum supply chains. Following the initial paper focused on quantum computing, we have now mapped the supply chain for quantum communications.The paper includes a unique methodology to assess and visualise supply chains for critical components needed to develop quantum communications hardware. It highlights the number of suppliers for each of the components, as well as the potential for EU suppliers to oer the same product.

“Although it’s still very early days and we will see a lot of changes in the future throughout the supply chains, it’s interesting that already today we see chokepoints for specific components. For example, we are already dependent on non-European manufacturers and should start the conversation on reducing these strategic dependencies”

The paper was written by Ulrich Mans, Julian Rabbie, Jesse robbers and Teun van der Veen.

Quantum Delta NL announces the winners of Quantum Field Lab call

Today, Quantum Delta NL community members Dutch startups Q*Bird and Single Quantum announced they, together with a consortium of quantum tech companies, will develop next-generation industrial quantum cryptography devices within a €5M EU-funded project.

Below is a press release by Q*bird

A consortium of quantum technology companies led by Q*Bird and Single Quantum will develop next-generation industrial quantum cryptography devices. The devices must be ready for certification and deployment in European telecom and enterprise infrastructures. The 5 M€ EU-funded project, called “MDI-QUEEN”, enables a transition to a quantum-safe communication infrastructure and strengthens the European ecosystem with a path towards the impending quantum internet.Quantum networking and quantum key distribution (QKD) are ways to keep data communication secure in a future where computers become ever more powerful. This is a new and growing field that has the potential to become a strong European technology market. Moreover, the EU Commission Cyber Resilience Act wants to provide European users with a safe cyberspace environment with a high level of security, while also stimulating the growth of the EU economy by adopting solutions of EU providers.

Next generation QKD

QKD is a method of cybersecurity key distribution, where a cryptography key is established using quantum phenomena. Because of fundamental laws of nature, any tapping or recording of communication during that cryptography key distribution is detectable by the quantum network.

In general, QKD has been extensively studied and attacked by the community for over two decades. This has led to solving known vulnerabilities against QKD transmitters, however, there are still some cases in which the QKD receivers need more protection. And that’s one of the advantages of our devices. Our receives are intrinsically secured against attacks.

He continues: “Several QKD solutions already exist on the market, but none is inherently scalable to many users while also remaining cost-effective. Our specific networks comprise nodes that are all connected to a centralized hub, which operates like a typical telephone switchboard operator. Multiple users can be connected within the same network and can exchange quantum-secured keys. This is an incredible advantage over other QKD solutions, that are based on point-to-point solutions.”

There is a need for a next-generation QKD solution that is intrinsically secure against detector and receiver attacks. The project will lift the applicability of QKD to the next level. We already have deployed our prototype QKD devices as proof-of-concept networks between cities in 2021. Now, we will miniaturize and integrate the system further.

Develop and industrialize

“The consortium will develop and industrialize next-gen QKD devices and crucial elements to upgrade to future quantum information networks,” Romijn adds. “This will enable a transition to a quantum-safe communication infrastructure and strengthen the European ecosystem with a resilient value chain for the upcoming quantum communication market.”Obtaining an industrialized quantum-safe communication link requires the development of a novel transmitter and receiver. Bright Photonics will lead the development of the transmitter by designing photonic integrated circuits (PIC) which form the core of high-rate qubit sources. These PICs will be fabricated at EU-based indium phosphide and silicon nitride foundries. Single Quantum will lead the development of robust and miniaturized receivers that are essential for the next generation of QKD devices.

Ready for certification

The main goal of this project is to deliver high-performant, industrial QKD devices, ready for certification and deployment in operational European telecom and enterprise infrastructures. Explicit parts of the project concern a controlled documentation environment and security certification strategy and roadmap. For example, collecting and monitoring all requirements documentation, architecture specifications, etc, will greatly simplify future certification procedures.What is more, Secura will safeguard that documentation meets the requirements of EAL4 certification by Common Criteria. This ensures that the next-gen QKD solution developed by the partners will be ready for industrial adoption and contribute to the development of Europe’s industrial ecosystem for quantum communication technologies and systems.

It will also help research teams launch startups based on their technology.Besides that, the fund will offer €50,000 to teams developing promising quantum technologies, before they have even incorporated as a startup. Supplied via a SAFE note agreement, this funding will later convert into an equity investment when the startup is ready to move forward as a business. Backed by Quantum Delta NL, a foundation that exists to nurture and develop the Dutch quantum technology ecosystem, the fund is designed to provide researchers with the financial support they need to prepare their research for commercialization.

2 March 2023, Amsterdam

We want to get in very early and make sure that we protect and support founders by making sure the first check into the company is one of patience and support, because that’s actually where the problems typically originate already.

The fund will primarily source its dealflow from research being conducted at leading Dutch universities: TU Delft; Eindhoven University of Technology; Leiden University; the University of Twente, and the University of Amsterdam.

On-call support for emerging quantum technology founders

In addition to the fund, Quantum Delta NL has also launched a new support program called Infinity, designed to help Dutch university researchers navigate the university spin-out process and raise their first funding round.Infinity aims to build the best, most connected, sustainable quantum startup sector in the world by 2028.Because the program isn’t tied to a specific university, it is able to offer independent, expert advice on how founders can commercialize their research in the right way, with the right partners. And when it comes to fundraising, founders can tap into Infinity’s network of more than 800 deep tech investors globally, including QDNL Participations.“Research-based founders are not business people,” explains van ‘t Noordende. “They receive slow, poor, even sometimes exploitative, advice that can limit or end their business progress, and grant-giving organizations do not foster commercial outcomes.”Unlike many support programs, this is support available as an ‘on call’ service as and when it is needed, and is completely free of charge. Infinity’s launch builds on support van ‘t Noordende has already provided to notable Dutch quantum technology startups like QuantWare and QphoX.“Worldwide venture capital investment into quantum technology has increased significantly in recent years, and the Netherlands is a hotspot for research and startups in the field. With our new fund and support program, we aim to get more of the country’s world-leading research out of the lab and onto the market,” says van ‘t Noordende.“This program is about more than money. Quantum Delta NL cherishes young companies, and the Infinity team will provide them with the support they need to help the Dutch quantum technology sector achieve its enormous potential,” says Carlo Beenakker, chair of the supervisory board of Quantum Delta NL.Freeke Heijman, co-founder and Director Ecosystem Development at Quantum Delta NL, said: “Infinity and QDNL Participations have only one goal: to allow quantum startups to grow sustainably in the Netherlands, so that they can participate in the growing global quantum market. There are no other interests – which is why we have chosen to give the program its own profile. Startups can rely on the team to put them first and to handle information with the utmost professionalism and discretion. The fund is badly needed because in the Netherlands, it is still difficult to find investors with a long time horizon and knowledge of the market. In combination with investments in shared facilities like cleanrooms and R&amp;D programs, Quantum Delta NL is building the best climate for startups.”

€15 million fund launches to accelerate early-stage quantum technology startups in NL

As a timely action for organisations and society to optimally profit from quantum technology and prevent its possible adverse side effects, the Centre for Quantum &amp; Society and a group of partners have created the Exploratory Quantum Technology Assessment (EQTA).On World Quantum Day, April 14, the Centre for Quantum and Society will officially launch the EQTA, during its event ‘Quantum technologies: applications and responsible innovation’. <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1HpSUDZB6Altbu9jga7X2dXCgfqAKtKCf5au_mbhrrhE/viewform?edit_requested=true">Register for the event here</a>.The EQTA is a tool that presents a guidance approach for companies, governments, or any organisation to explore quantum technology’s ethical, legal, and societal implications. To guide organisations through this process, the tool starts with a quick scan consisting of the following steps:<ul><li>An orientation on quantum technology and timelines;</li><li>An orientation on possible applications by means of examples;</li><li>A short description of what impact your organisation might experience and/or which applications are relevant;</li><li>A short stakeholder analysis to define who will be experiencing impact;</li><li>A dialogue session to explore and test what is needed to make optimal use of the possibilities of quantum technology and, if necessary, to prevent negative effects.</li></ul>If the dialogue session shows that action is needed, organisations can then follow the entire EQTA tool to further explore specific areas.View both the EQTA and the accompanying working document below. The documents can be downloaded by clicking the download icon in the top left corner. Please mind the EQTA is currently only available in Dutch. The English version will be published over the course of March.Daniël Frijters answered three questions on why your organisation should use the EQTA, check out his answers in this <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/3-questions-dani%25C3%25ABl-frijters-why-your-organisation-should/?trackingId=pjjm498BobIn5tqB%2B8%2BUlw%3D%3D">LinkedIn article</a>.

Following the first and second white papers on Stakeholder Engagement and Communications from the ‘Lessons from AI’ series, the third and final paper on Risk Management is now available for download. <a target="_blank">White paper 1 ‘Stakeholder Engagement’ </a><a target="_blank" href="/news/qdnl-white-paper-2-3-lessons-from-ai-communication">White paper 2 ‘Communications’ </a><a target="_blank" href="/news/qdnl-white-paper-3-3-lessons-from-ai-risk-management">White paper 3 ‘Risk Management’ </a>In light of this last paper, we asked 3 questions to contributor Jord Goudsmit. Jord is a responsible tech consultant who helps organisations navigate the rapidly changing digital landscape. He specializes in digital ethics and responsible innovation. This papers was written by Jord Goudsmit, Luca Possati, Lauren Challis and Ulrich Mans.

Even though all emerging technologies develop in their own unique and distinctive ways, oftentimes there are similarities in the problems they face. For instance, there has been a tendency to mystify emerging technologies in the public debate, leading to all kinds of blown-up narratives about their capabilities (e.g., AI robots will dominate humankind).We have seen this with AI, and due to the even more complex nature of quantum, we can anticipate the same will happen for quantum technology. This also means we can take preventive measures to avoid this same situation, for instance, by emphasizing the need for clear communication to the larger public, providing adequate information on the workings of quantum technology and explaining its relevance. Instead of reinventing the wheel every time a new technology is developed, we ought to look at earlier lessons learned, even when they seem rather obvious.

Why do you think is it useful to collect inspiration from the last 10+ years of AI risk management practice when looking at quantum technology?

One takeaway that was especially remarkable to me is the shift in thinking concerning human-machine interaction. Over the years, the debate concerning humans and technology has shifted from a techno-centric perspective to a more human-centric perspective. However, recently, the idea of a collective perspective has emerged, which argues for a balanced trust in both tech and humans. In this way, the collective perspective maximizes good by profiting from the unique traits of both technology (e.g., identifying complex data patterns), and humans (e.g., the capacity for critical reflection). Even though this perspective is not necessarily ‘new’ or groundbreaking, it is interesting to see that the collective approach that we advocate in our work is part of a bigger shift in human-machine interaction.

Which of the takeaways was a surprise to you?

Concerning the regulation of future quantum applications, one of the most important lessons from the AI Act is the use of policy prototyping. This is a method of experimental governance, where regulation first gets tested under real-world circumstances and adapted conform to the newly acquired knowledge before it is carried out. By doing this, you can create better-fitting policies and regulations for complex issues, such as emerging technology, by implementing this ‘feedback loop’.Leveraging this methodology, we have seen that the AI Act does not always accurately depicts the AI landscape, for example with the proposed taxonomy of actors. This methodology of testing policy in practice is especially interesting for the quantum community because the technology is still in its early development phase, which allows for more time to find and test suitable policies.Download the full white paper here:

The AI Act is now a reality. What would you hope for the quantum community to ‘learn’ from work done on an EU level around risk management and accountability as we start conversations about future quantum applications?

3 questions to Jord Goudsmit on QDNL white paper (3/3)

Following the first white paper on Stakeholder Engagement from the ‘Lessons from AI’ series that was published last November, the second paper on Communication is now available for download. We asked 3 questions to contributor Linshan Feng. Linshan is a master’s student in Biology and Science Communication and Society at Leiden University and a student assistant for QDNL. This second of three white papers was written by Linshan Feng, Julia Cramer and Ulrich Mans.

Quantum technologies are currently moving from the realm of research toward practical applications. These applications could have societal consequences and the public needs to be informed and involved in a conversation about them as soon as possible. Starting too late can make effective communication more difficult in the future. In this white paper series, we looked at the communication efforts on artificial intelligence, which are still ongoing 20 years after AI technologies have transitioned from research to application.Now that AI applications are virtually everywhere, people have become more interested in learning about them, but misconceptions about what AI can do are already widespread. Starting the conversation on communication on quantum technology already now could make it easier to establish an accurate public understanding of quantum and facilitate productive discussions with the public about how the technology should be implemented.

Why is it important that we start talking about the communication of quantum technologies?

One very important point raised by experts was that we need to talk about the many stakeholders involved in developing and implementing AI technology. People should know that AI applications are tools and that stakeholders can influence how they will be used and what impacts they will have.Reports about AI often make the AI tool sound like the main culprit when something goes wrong. However, the problem often lies in how it was further developed or applied by people instead. Elucidating important stakeholders could encourage and enable the broader public to hold them accountable to create applications that are in line with societal needs and rules.

What is in your view the most important lesson on communication that quantum technology can learn from AI’s entrance into society?

First, I hope that it will inspire more people to get involved in the communication efforts of new technologies such as quantum or AI. AI communication is already a diverse field in which people from corporate, governmental, institutional and journalism backgrounds are involved. There are many sides to technology and many different audiences that have different needs. We need more people to start communicating quantum to their chosen audience so that we can involve as many people as possible in the implementation process.Secondly, I hope that the points can inspire fruitful conversations about guidelines or best practices for communicating quantum in the future. In AI communication, picture repositories have recently started to counter the pervasive and often unhelpful illustration of AI algorithms as either robots or zeros and ones. For quantum, most people don’t have an image in their heads yet, so it is the right time to start discussing how we want people to imagine quantum technologies.Download the full white paper here:

3 questions to Linshan Feng on QDNL white paper (2/3)

Quantum Delta NL launches the second call for scientific quantum research in collaboration with NWO. The call is expected to open in early February 2023 and implements the action line ‘Research and Innovation’ of the Quantum Delta NL programme. The <a href="https://quantumdelta.nl/quantum-delta-nl-awards-5-3-million-to-16-dutch-research-projects/">allocations from the first round</a> were announced in December 2022.The call will be almost identical to the 2022 call, including the aim to encourage young talent in quantum technology by allowing newly promoted researchers to apply for a personal research budget. This was successful in the first round with four allocations to newly promoted researchers out of a total of 16 grants).In addition, researchers from universities of applied sciences and researchers with zero-hours contracts at universities may apply.

“The latter element is new and is intended for researchers who, for example, are employed by TNO or a company, regularly spend time at the university, but are contractually bound to a zero-hours agreement. we are curious to see how this option will work out”

In this second round, 10.4 million EUR is available. As in all National Growth Fund programmes, NWO applies the integral cost system, meaning the full cost of the personnel to be appointed is reimbursed. Researchers can submit applications for projects for one PhD student or one postdoc position completed by December 2028 at the latest. For efficiency reasons, the 2023 and 2024 calls have been merged into one round. Thus, there will be no call in 2024.The aim of NWO and Quantum Delta NL is to realise much-needed scientific and technological breakthroughs in the field of quantum technology. In total, Quantum Delta NL has earmarked 42 million euros for the Action Line ‘research and innovation’, over a duration of seven years. The aim is to consolidate and strengthen the scientific base of quantum technology.

“With this second call, scientists again can get an unprecedented acceleration to scale up their daring research. It is highly necessary to keep investing in research and innovation as this will strengthen the Netherlands’ leading position in quantum technology”

Call for proposals

Pre-announcement: second call for scientific quantum technology research

A prison for ions and cold atoms for a unique quantum simulator? Checking the geographical position of a bank computer with quantum verification? Quantum optics to see if a communication network has been tampered with? These are three of 16 futuristic projects within the National Growth Fund programme Quantum Technology organised by Quantum Delta NL in collaboration with NWO. In total, more than €5.3 million is involved.A special feature of this call is that PhD researchers could apply for a personal research budget, this strengthens the basis for the Netherlands’ leading position in quantum research.Of the sixteen projects awarded, four are from such newly promoted researchers. Also, four of the 16 applicants awarded are women. Both numbers are relatively high, but there is work to be done. Quantum Delta NL is dedicated to achieving a better gender balance.

“As the assessment committee, we are proud of the high quality of the Dutch research proposals that we have received. We have high expectations of the proposal that have been selected. These all offer great potential in maintaining and strengthening the global position of the Netherlands in the field of quantum technology.”

In 2023, a new similar call will be opened in collaboration between Quantum Delta NL and NWO.Quantum technology is a key technology that can provide answers to many unsolved societal challenges. The central government is putting 615 million euros into this pioneering technology. Of this, within the Quantum Technology programme, a total of 42 million euros has been set aside for scientific research and innovation, over a duration of seven years.

“This is the first call for proposals from Quantum Delta NL, organized by its Action Line 1 ‘Research and Innovation’ committee, in collaboration with NWO. This first round of awards I see as a great success. We managed to increase the budget, which allowed us to honor more of the high-quality proposals we received. I am very curious about the results that the researchers will achieve in the coming years with this financial boost.”

An Integrated Quantum Circuit F. Borsoi –TU DelftWithin the project, the researcher will apply classical electronic architectures on infant quantum dot devices to solve qubit control and interconnectivity bottlenecks. In the route from a few to a million qubits system, this will result in a modular building block for semiconductor quantum computers and simulators.(NGF.1582.22.001: Sensing of modular semiconductor qubit arrays from the inside)Using regular computers for predicting and reducing the influence of noise in quantum computers T.J. Coopmans – Leiden UniversityNoise in quantum computers is the main hurdle for them to outperform their regular (classical) counterparts. The researchers first propose to develop a novel method for simulating noisy quantum computers on classical computers. Next, they will use the new method for better predicting and reducing the influence of noise on the performance of near-term quantum computers.(NGF.1582.22.035: Robust decision-diagram simulation for noisy quantum circuit analysis)Quantum revolution will be automatized O. Danaci – Leiden UniversityNoisy small-scale quantum computers are here, and fault-tolerant ones on the horizon. However, the current effort is limited to table-top experiments in university labs overflowing into prototype hardware; not an industrial, automated effort. The calibration and control problem is a fundamental tenet of quantum advantage. Yet, tune-up of even the basic building blocks take hours of experts, and needs to be done repeatedly. Inspired by the success in AI-driven experiments in other fields, MAZeLTof-Q promises to deliver not only automation of the calibration for fresh out of assembly-line quantum hardware, but also performance-levels ushering fault-tolerance era.(NGF.1582.22.031: MAZeLTof-Q, Machine Assisted Zero-Knowledge Tune-up of Superconducting Qubits)Digital-analog quantum computing: a win-win situation E. Greplova – TU DelftQuantum computing is often limited by spurious interactions between the quantum bits on the quantum device, but in fact, quantum computing can be made easier by using this already-present native interactions to our advantage. In this proposal the researchers show that this hybrid approach leads to better computation accuracy and less engineering overhead. They propose how to design, evaluate and simulate these hybrid quantum computation models and how this framework may lead to new near-term applications for quantum computers.(NGF.1582.22.026: Optimal Digital-Analog Quantum Circuits)Experimental quantum position verification W. Löffler – Leiden UniversityThe geographic location often is an excellent credential, for instance, for the computer in the building of a bank. Unfortunately, secure verification of a position using triangulation has been proven to be impossible with classical communication. The goal of this proposal is to firstly demonstrate experimentally “quantum position verification”, which can be secure. By using qubits, the quantum mechanical no-cloning theorem guarantees that attackers cannot compromise the protocol by intercepting and copying the information. After a lab demonstrator and a field test, the researchers hope to be able to implement quantum position verification in the Dutch quantum network.(NGF.1582.22.025: Experimental Quantum Position Verification)Ion Jail for new quantum simulator R.S. Lous – Eindhoven University of TechnologyUltracold atoms and trapped ions are at the forefront of quantum simulation, especially if you combine the two platforms. In quantum simulation, you build a well-controllable testbed in the laboratory with which you do research on quantum systems that aren’t easy to make. This proposal is about the design of a state-of-the-art ion trap (or jail) and the building thereof. With this ion trap the researchers build a unique quantum simulator. Theywill use the ion jail to probe the many-body aspects of the cold bath of atoms, where dipolar interactions play a role.(NGF.1582.22.027: Design of ion trap setup for new quantum simulator (Dit))Network Security via Quantum Sensing prof. P.W.H. Pinkse – University of TwenteThe researchers develop quantum-optical characterisation techniques to sniff out if a communication network is being tampered with, by checking optical fibre properties. In the same way they also check the area enclosed by a large fibre loop by measuring the subtle effect of the earth’s rotation on the light travelling in the loop.(NGF.1582.22.023: Network Security via Quantum Sensing (NeSQuS))How energy efficient can quantum computing be? S.R.K. Rodriguez – Foundation for Dutch Scientific Research Institutes, AMOLFQuantum computers are expected solve certain important problems much faster than classical computers. But could this quantum speed advantage come at the expense of an energy efficiency disadvantage? Researchers in this project will answer this question, theoretically and experimentally, using a novel optical platform. They will compare the minimum energy required to erase a quantum and a classical bit in finite time. The results will lay the foundations for understanding and optimizing the fundamental trade-off between energy efficiency, speed, and accuracy, in quantum operations.(NGF.1582.22.011: The cost of erasing an optical qubit)Trapped ions make excellent quantum bits A. Safavi-Naini – University of AmsterdamTrapped ions make excellent quantum bits. They can be controlled to form miniature quantum computers. However, scaling up the the system size while maintaining the quality of operations remains a formidable challenge. The researchers will employ optical tweezers and electric fields to boost the scalability and speed of the quantum computer. Their research will be an important step towards universal quantum computing.(NGF.1582.22.030: Trapped-ions, electric fields, and optical tweezers: Ingredients for a novel quantum computer)Detecting microwaves using quantum sensors in diamond T. van der Sar – TU DelftAtomic defects in diamond have emerged as powerful magnetic-field sensors. However, their sensitivity in the microwave regime – important for materials science, radar, and wireless communication – is limited. This research will interface a diamond sensor chip with a magnetic film that will enable the detection of microwaves by locally converting their frequency to a detectable range. The goal is to realize sensor chips with sensitivity in the 1-100 gigahertz range.(NGF.1582.22.018: Broadband quantum sensing of microwaves using spins in diamond via magnetic frequency conversion)Noisy quantum computers ‘under control’ O.T.C. Tse – Eindhoven University of TechnologyQuantum computers are made up of many entities that, not only interact with each other but also with the outside world. These interactions give quantum computers the power they need to surpass classical  computers, but at the same time make them difficult to control due to a phenomenon called quantum decoherence, or in other words, noise. In this project, researchers develop noise-resistant algorithms, paving the way for currently available quantum computers to solve hard problems in cryptography, and to study chemical processes for the development of new materials and medicine more effectively than currently possible.(NGF.1582.22.009: Variational Quantum Optimal Control on Rydberg-atom quantum processors)Enhancing mechanical quantum sensors with flashes of light prof. E. Verhagen – Foundation for Dutch Scientific Research Institutes, AMOLFMechanical resonators, especially tiny ones, are extremely sensitive sensors of a wide variety of signals: from accelerations to magnetic fields and molecular masses. This project investigates whether the performance of mechanical sensors can be improved by controlling the quantum state of a vibrating resonator. The researchers do so with the help of strong flashes of laser light, which induce special quantum fluctuations in the resonator that enhance its sensitivity to useful signals.(NGF.1582.22.020: Enhancing nanomechanical sensing with quantum squeezing and entanglement)Searching for the correct molecular mirror image prof. L. Visscher – VU AmsterdamThe new Dutch quantum supercomputer will be put to the task of determining the correct molecular mirror image. Just like with people, we have that the mirror image of a molecule looks almost identical but still is crucially different: Imagine putting your right hand in a left-hand glove! For molecules, this may imply the difference between an effective drug and a potentially dangerous substance. The researchers in this project aim to develop a combination of measurement and quantum simulations which can unambiguously determine whether we have the desired molecule and not its mirror image.Metal atoms in semiconductors go quantum-telecom prof. C.H. van der Wal – University of GroningenQuantum technology can make the internet more secure and provide better sensors. Much is still unknown about which materials are most suited for building such technology. This project builds on the recent discovery that adding individual metal atoms to a widely-used semiconductor material provides a quantum memory or sensor that can be set and read-out with the same colour of light that is used in the fibre-optics of the internet. The research aims to better understand which metal atoms are most suitable for this, and how they can be controlled inside a semiconductor device. (NGF.1582.22.034: Telecom-compatible quantum emitters in SiC crystals: fundamentals of spin interactions and device engineering)An ultrasensitive magnetic microscope based on a diamond quantum sensor G. Welker – TU DelftThe researchers propose to develop a new type of microscope with extreme magnetic field sensitivity, 100 times better than current magnetic microscopes. The microscope will use a tiny crystal defect and an impurity in a diamond crystal as a magnetic field sensor. It is so sensitive because the researchers use a tin impurity instead of a nitrogen impurity, which is better protected from electric noise. Furthermore, they use an optical glass fiber to collect the light emitted from the tiny crystal defect more efficiently.(NGF.1582.22.038: Nanoscale magnetic imaging using a fiber-coupled tin-vacancy spin in diamond)Listening to Josephson junctions: do they contain new fundamental particles? prof. F.A. Zwanenburg – University of TwenteThe researchers look for signs of a special particle, the elusive Majorana-fermion, which promises to make a new noise-insensitive type of quantum computer possible. This strange particle is its own anti-particle and is therefore very hard to find. To create them, they combine ‘topological’ materials with superconducting contacts to create ‘Josephson junctions’ and cool down to ultralow temperatures. When they apply a small voltage, charges in the device start to vibrate and generate radiation like a tiny antenna. A Majorana will have a different frequency than normal electrons; by recording this radiation they measure whether their device contains these exotic particles.(NGF.1582.22.039 – Sensing Josephson radiation using wideband high-frequency spectroscopy)

The 16 awarded projects

Quantum Delta NL awards 5.3 million to 16 Dutch research projects

Delft, 19 December 2022 – The Dutch, French and German national governments have signed a joint statement on their intent to strengthen collaboration on quantum technology, in support of a joint European agenda to lead the development in this field.

To meet the challenge of European (open) strategic autonomy in this technology area, and to create the basis for future European leaders in quantum, Guido Biessen, the Dutch Acting Director-General for Enterprise and Innovation, Bruno Bonnel, the French Secretary General for Investments and Ina Schieferdecker, the German Director General for Research for Technological Sovereignty and Innovation signed a Joint Statement On Cooperation in Quantum Technologies. Its aim: to increase the synergies between the Dutch, French and German ecosystems and achieve the critical mass needed to help develop European leaders and attract the best international talents.Quantum technologies are among the few key digital technologies that have emerged in Europe, and it requires collective effort to make Europe leading in this emerging industry. By signing this joint statement amongst the three leading quantum countries in quantum technologies the signatories wish to consolidate their trilateral cooperation in R&amp;D efforts and accelerate private synergies that will lay the foundations for European quantum businesses across the continent. Through the respective national quantum initiatives, such as Quantum Delta NL as the foundation in charge of coordinating the Dutch national quantum programme, plus the R&amp;D programmes of the European Commission, Europe is by far the world’s leading investor in quantum. Cooperation between member states is the key to their collective success. Ulrich Mans, Strategic Partnerships Lead at QDNL Programme Office: “The quantum landscape across Europe is changing fast. With this initiative, we can accelerate joint projects that support our growing start-up ecosystem. France and Germany are leading quantum partners for the Netherlands, and we look forward to deepen existing links between our countries.”The parties wish to have an informal information exchange and to meet on a regular basis. The aim is to exchange views on recent developments in the fields of research, education, policy, implementation and use case development in quantum technologies; explore possibilities for effective coordination and Cooperation in this field, and to improve alignment across policy and funding priorities. The parties are already exploring active collaboration on workforce growth and talent development, supply chain enforcement and technological leadership development.

The Netherlands, France and Germany intend to join forces to put Europe ahead in the quantum tech race

This week, our community member QuantWare announced to be opening its foundry capabilities to lower the barrier to build quantum computing hardware and accelerate the advent of the quantum computer.  Below is a press release by QuantWare.

DELFT, NETHERLANDS – QuantWare, the leading provider of superconducting quantum processors, announced the launch of its Foundry Services to provide a powerful and cost-effective alternative to anyone wanting to fabricate their own Superconducting Quantum Chips without having in-house fabrication capabilities.Fabrication and production of quantum computing hardware currently is very capital intensive, requiring a team of highly skilled fabrication engineers and access to cleanroom facilities. These high barriers of entry limit innovation in the field of quantum computing.QuantWare aims to lower the hurdle to enter into the quantum computing space by offering its excess fabrication capacity to third parties. This will help the field accelerate research and innovation by making industry leading fabrication processes available to everyone“Opening up our Foundry capabilities for the design of others massively lowers the barrier to build a quantum computer. It also prepares our company for future large-scale processors that, like in Semicon, will feature IP from different sources. We believe it to be a big step towards our mission to accelerate the advent of the quantum computer.”Matthijs Rijlaarsdam, Co-Founder and CEO of QuantWareFind more information and technical details here (<a target="_blank" href="https://lnkd.in/ecqZNT4T">link</a>).About QuantWare QuantWare is a TU Delft / QuTech spin-out that develops, designs, and fabricates scalable superconducting quantum processors. The company is the first in the world that sells these to third parties. This allows the company’s customers to build full stack Open-Architecture Quantum Computers for 1/10th the cost of competing solutions. These are systems that are built using the components of various suppliers, much like today’s computers. QuantWare develops technology that will massively scale the number of qubits in a single processor, to create processors that can perform useful quantum computation in the near term. The company is based in Delft, the Netherlands.

Gisteren is in Delft de eerste locatie van het House of Quantum geopend. Het House of Quantum moet ‘s werelds eerste nationale quantumcampus worden, bestaande uit verschillende verzamelgebouwen voor quantumbedrijven verspreid over het land.  Minister van Economische Zaken en Klimaat, Micky Adriaansens, opende het eerste gebouw tijdens een feestelijke bijeenkomst op de nieuwe Delftse locatie in aanwezigheid van onder anderen Techleap.nl Special Envoy Constantijn van Oranje, oprichters, investeerders en kennisinstellingen zoals de TU Delft. Orange Quantum Systems, Qblox, Quantware en QphoX zijn de eerste bedrijven die zich er hebben gevestigd.

Minister Micky Adriaansens opent eerste ‘House of Quantum’

In het House of Quantum ontmoeten lokale en internationale bedrijven, investeerders en onderzoekers elkaar en werken zij samen aan de quantumtechnologie van morgen en het groeien van hun bedrijven . Middels lidmaatschappen kunnen deze partijen gebruik maken van kantoorruimtes, labfaciliteiten en alles dat het House of Quantum en haar community te bieden heeft. Met House of Quantum wil Quantum Delta NL (QDNL) het tech-ecosysteem uitbreiden, synergie creëren tussen hardware en software, en niet-technische stakeholders binnenhalen die het nationale quantumecosysteem kunnen <strike> </strike>ondersteunen.  Dit is een centrale ambitie van het nationale quantumtechnologie programma waarvoor QDNL  615 miljoen euro ontving van het Nationaal Groeifonds.Een nationale quantum campus De bedrijven die in deze vroege fase van de quantumeconomie aan de technologieën werken, hebben werkruimtes en hoogwaardige laboratoriumfaciliteiten nodig die voor individuele implementatie vaak te kostbaar zijn. Als onderdeel van het nationale programma voor quantumtechnologie, gecoördineerd door Quantum Delta NL, zijn tussen 2023 en 2026 House of Quantum-locaties gepland in Eindhoven, Amsterdam en Twente. In Delft <strike> </strike>volgen nog twee locaties, te beginnen met een naastgelegen locatie in 2023<strike>)</strike>. Het hoofdgebouw, dat bekend moet komen te staan als Europa<strike>’</strike>s slimste 12.000m2 quantummeters, biedt werkruimtes  en labs en ‘testbeds’ voor quantumcomputers, quantumnetwerken en quantumsensoren. Dit hoofdgebouw wordt ontworpen door architectenbureau Cepezed en ingenieursbureaus Deerns en Aronsohn en naar verwachting in 2025 in gebruik genomen.“Met deze investeringen bouwen we aan een nationale quantumcampus die in nauwe verbinding staat met onze Europese partners “, zegt Freeke Heijman, medeoprichter en directeur ecosystemen van QDNL . Elke locatie krijgt zijn eigen specifieke footprint, die de behoeften van de lokale spelers binnen die hub weerspiegelt. De eerste twee locaties in Delft (net buiten de TU Delft Campus) zijn vooral gericht op startups die werken aan de ontwikkeling van quantumhardware en aanverwante elektronica.

Yesterday, Quantum Delta NL (QDNL) opened the first location of the House of Quantum, in Delft. The House of Quantum is to become the world’s first national quantum campus consisting of several multi-tenant buildings for quantum companies across the Netherlands. The Dutch Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, Micky Adriaansens, officially opened the building during a festive event in the presence of among others Techleap.nl Special Envoy Constantijn van Oranje, founders, investors and knowledge institutions like TU Delft. Orange Quantum Systems, Qblox, Quantware and QphoX are the first companies to join – all alumni from the local Delft quantum cluster – and now reside under the same roof.

House of Quantum offers <a target="_blank" href="https://www.houseofquantum.co/memberships">memberships</a> to local and international companies, investors and researchers to work, meet and collaborate on tomorrow’s quantum technology and grow their business. With House of Quantum as a separate initiative, QDNL aims to expand the tech ecosystem, to create synergies between the entirety of expertise clustered around the main Dutch knowledge institutions and between quantum hardware and software, and to bring in non-technical stakeholders that can support the national quantum ecosystem. This is a central ambition of the national growth programme, for which 615 million euros was awarded.A national quantum campus The companies working on the technologies in this early stage of the quantum economy need workspaces and high-end lab facilities, which are often too costly to implement individually. As part of the national quantum technology programme, coordinated by QDNL, the government is investing in multiple locations across the country, including Eindhoven, Amsterdam and Twente. In Delft, the first location is now open for business, two more will follow in Delft (starting with a building on the same premises in 2023). Other locations will follow between 2023 and 2026. The main building alone, which is to be known as Europe’s smartest 12.000 square “quantum meters”, will have workspaces and will be home to high-end labs and testbeds for quantum computing, quantum networks and quantum sensing. This landmark location is scheduled to open in 2025 and will be designed by architecture firm Cepezed and engineering firms Deerns and Aronsohn.“With these investments, we are building a national quantum campus that connects to partner locations in Europe.” says Freeke Heijman, co-founder and director ecosystems of Quantum Delta NL. Each location will have its specific footprint, reflecting the needs of the local quantum players in each hub. The first two locations in Delft (just down the street from the TU Delft Campus) are mainly geared towards start-ups working on hardware developments and related electronics. It offers plug-and play fridges, work stations, modular office space, meeting facilities and a members-only Mediterranean style restaurant. Related initiatives from across the Quantum Delta NL programme will also find their way into the building. “We’re still in the early days, but we can’t wait to see the first building flourish, and to support the exciting quantum initiatives throughout the ecosystem such as the Centre for Quantum &amp; Society, training and learning centres and fieldlab projects”, says Shahar Graf, operational lead of House of Quantum.The international quantum community With the first House of Quantum location now open, it is also possible for international start-ups, SMEs and corporations to become a House of Quantum member. Companies can choose to set up offices or labs, or join through coworking and community memberships. For larger companies who would like to engage there are also opportunities to become a House of Quantum sponsor.NL as a quantum leader in the EU and globally Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, Micky Adriaansens: “Quantum technology is a promising field of technology and the Netherlands has world-leading research facilities. Now is the time to convert our academic lead into economic activity. Fruitful public-private cooperation like The House of Quantum plays a central role in this process. Here, all blood groups and disciplines from the ecosystem come together to accelerate the application of quantum technology.”Constantijn van Oranje, Special Envoy Techleap.nl: “There is no doubt that quantum technologies will have a profound impact on the world, transforming information and communication technology systems to deliver benefits for society as a whole. The arrival of the House of Quantum demonstrates the Netherlands’ long-term commitment to the advancement of this technology through science and entrepreneurship.”Niels Bultink, CEO Qblox: ”The Dutch quantum companies are laying the ground for the global value chain of quantum technology; where science and innovation go hand in hand with business. With these new buildings, Quantum Delta NL is providing us with the physical space necessary to further execute this mission. Already today, this makes the Dutch ecosystem a renowned international hub for collaboration and innovation.”Launching members of the House of Quantum Elektronicaweg location are: Orange QS, Qblox, Qphox, Quantware, Delft Circuits, Single Quantum, Q*Bird, Bluefors, Microsoft, Quantum Delft and Quantum Delta NL.
