Programme overview
Innovate, Connect, and Empower
Three programmes, all with their own focus on a key frontier of quantum technology. That is what QDNL is working on. This enables researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry leader to collaborate effectively and drive real-world breakthroughs.
Quantum Computing & Simulation
Factoring large numbers and simulating chemical and quantum systems. It is a quantum computer that can potentially solve such problems much faster than classical computers. At QDNL, we are building a collaborative community to actively turn this quantum potential into real-world solutions.
Quantum Networks
Quantum Networks serve as a national testbed for new applications such as online quantum computing. By making use of quantum communication to transmit information between devices, it becomes nearly impossible for hackers to intercept messages. Essential in todays and tomorrow’s digital security challenges for banks, medical facilities, and other critical infrastructures.
Quantum Sensing
At QDNL, we are fostering a collaborative ecosystem to accelerate the development and industrialization of quantum sensing applications. Quantum sensing leverages the extreme sensitivity of quantum systems to measure physical quantities with unprecedented accuracy. This technology promises breakthroughs in fields such as healthcare, navigation, and climate research. By connecting technology developers, end-users, and industry partners, we aim to bring these innovations from the lab to real-world impact.
Within each of these key focuses, specific attention is paid to:
Research and innovation
Groundbreaking technologies begin with groundbreaking ideas. We invest in cutting-edge research and foster innovation that accelerates the translation of quantum science into practical applications.
