Talent & Learning Centres
Quantum Delta NL Talent & Learning Centres – People-Centred Quantum
The power of quantum technologies rests not in the complex, mysterious world in quantum mechanics, but in the minds of people who will master this technology to explore the vast reaches of science and the profound challenges facing society. At Quantum Delta NL (QDNL), we believe that the key to that future is in the creation and nurturing of a people-centred quantum ecosystem.
The QDNL Talent & Learning Centres will reach ‘beyond the bubble’ to solve the complex challenges quantum technology and computing can resolve such as climate change and drug discovery. However, doing so through nurturing one of the Netherlands’ principal strengths: its people.
The QDNL’s Talent & Learning Centres are designed to tap The Netherlands’ most important natural resource – its people – to address the critical challenges of building a quantum workforce for tomorrow’s quantum institutions and industries.
Created based on a vision of a limitless world where education and talent development are powered by quantum learning, the TLCs serve as collaboration and education centres in the local, regional, national – and even global – quantum ecosystem.
The centres – located in Delft/Leiden, Amsterdam, Twente and Eindhoven – are hubs that:
Facilitate projects and internships for students and teachers to develop the required skills and gain experience in working in a professional quantum environment.
Bridge the gap between the university, higher professional education (HBO) and secondary vocational education (MBO) by translating scientifically acquired knowledge into practical applications.
Foster a culture of lifelong learning by developing practical labs, educational material and various support for personal and professional growth.
Link our world-renowned educational institutions in those regions and with companies in quantum or related technologies.
Our vision is one that sees quantum science and technology as a field that empowers individuals to unlock their boundless potential and pursue excellence without limits.
Join us in this journey to unlock the potential of quantum learning and help to match educational programs to the needs of industrial and societal partners.
Four Convenient Regional Locations
TLCs are conveniently and centrally based in Delft/Leiden, Amsterdam, Twente and Eindhoven.
Regional centres work closely together with both regional educational institutions and with partners from industry and other societal stakeholders. The structure is uniquely designed to allow each TLC to adapt to the local needs and possibilities.
These centres rely on those local institutions and expertise while building their strength through connections to other TLCs and, because these centres are linked to the different hubs which are part of the QDNL ecosystem, are able to tap resources from national and international networks.

Hybrid Minor Quantum Computing
Launching for the third time in 2024, the minor in Applied Quantum Computing is founded on the bootcamp, "Introduction to Quantum Computing". While this minor was developed in Amsterdam, we're innovating with blended learning techniques to reach students globally, ensuring they're not bound to Amsterdam, which involves refining course content and enhancing technical support.
Vocational school Leidse instrumentmakers School
The programme at LiS teaches its students how to create the technology needed to support quantum technology through workshops, elective courses and collaboration with industry.
