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.
Quantum Delta NL launch event || January 28
You are invited to the online Quantum Delta NL launch event on Thursday January 28.

During the breakout sessions, we encourage you to exchange ideas and spark new collaborations between entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, policy makers and business professionals.
SURF supports researchers in building the first Quantum Internet in the Netherlands
SURF, the Dutch ICT cooperative of education and research institutions, intensifies its engagement with the quantum technology community. SURF aims to support Dutch researchers in taking an early and competitive advantage of quantum technologies and facilities while these become available. They do this by supporting its development and preparing together with partners and our user community for its effective use.
Qblox wins CES 2021 Innovation Award honoree
The unrivalled power of quantum computers holds the key to overcome major challenges that society faces in areas like energy transition, health, safety & security and new materials. But in the race to stable and commercially viable quantum computers – various challenges must be overcome regarding the scalability and the correction of computational errors. This is where Qblox comes in with the next generation of qubit control hardware named the Cluster series. Qblox is part of the Dutch delegation of companies that is present during the online CES 2021.
Quantum Delta NL and quantum tech startups participate in CES2021
Quantum Delta NL is participant in the all-digital CES 2021, also known as the most influential tech event in the world, that will take place from 11 to 14 of January of 2021. This year, it’s the largest Dutch delegation ever-present in the event, including 80+ different start-ups and scale-ups related to distinct areas such as Energy Power/Climate Change, category of which our company is part of, Energy Transition, Sustainability, Smart Cities.
Qblox raises €4.8Mn in funding from the European Innovation Council Horizon2020
In August 2020, Qblox decided to apply for funding from European Commission Accelerator program. A total of 4,223 startups requested over €15Bn from the EIC Accelerator. Qblox amongst the 1% successful deeptech startups (just 38 companies) which succeeded. With this funding, Qblox can take a leap towards the production and introduction of the Qblox cluster qubit control stack.
