QuiX Quantum introduces Kathy Willing as newly appointed Chief Financial Officer. Home to Europe’s first sold Universal Quantum Computer based on photonics and the world’s most powerful quantum photonic processors, QuiX Quantum completes its C-suite executives in time for organizational and financial growth.

It seems quantum mechanics and thermodynamics cannot be true simultaneously. In a new publication, UT researchers use photons in an optical chip to demonstrate how both theories can be true at the same time. They recently published their results in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

The QuGANTIC project supported by the EU/EIC has officially launched with a kick-off meeting that took place on 12-13 April 2023 at Aarhus University in Denmark. Five members of the project team from three countries discussed the start of the project and plan for the first milestones.

Enschede, Netherlands, St. Gallen, Switzerland, May 15th, 2023 – QMware and QuiX Quantum collaborate to develop the first fully integrated, hybrid quantum-classical platform in Enschede, the Netherlands, where QuiX Quantum’s headquarters are located. The hybrid architecture integrates high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure with native quantum computing technology onsite for the first time globally. The new data center is expected to be fully operational for commercial applications in August 2023.

Eindhoven, 20 April 2023 - During King Willem-Alexander's visit to the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven on April 20, he gained insight into the value chain of integrated photonics in the Netherlands and Europe from various perspectives. This emerging chip technology is accelerating thanks to a €1.1 billion program led by PhotonDelta. With demonstrations at Holst Centre and roundtable discussions at PhotonDelta, the King learned about the essence of the technology, its applications, and its importance for the future of the Netherlands and Europe.

Yesterday, His Majesty the King Willem-Alexander and President Emmanuel Macron paid an official visit to the Amsterdam hub for a tour of the Quantum Gases & 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.

The POLYNICES project was officially inaugurated with the kick-off meeting that took place on 12th and 13th of January 2023. All the eight (8) members of the consortium were gathered for a two-day productive meeting at the premises of TOPTICA in Munich to analyze POLYNICES’s workplan in depth, specify in detail the role of each partner in the project’s deployment and define the next actions.

QuiX Quantum has been awarded the Prism Award, touted as the “Oscars of Photonics”, for their 20-mode Quantum Photonic Processor. This recognition is a great accomplishment for the Dutch photonic quantum computing company, as it is another validation of their commercially available, market-leading quantum hardware.

QuiX Quantum, market leader for quantum computing with light, has strengthened its technical leadership with the appointment of Dr. Devin Smith as Chief Technology Officer while co-founder and former CTO Dr. Jelmer Renema steps into the new role of Chief Scientist.

QuiX Quantum introduces Andrew Wallace as Chairman of the Supervisory Board. The market leader for quantum computing with light fills a vital role as they continue to develop from their foundation in 2019.

The leading company in Quantum Computing software, Kvantify, and the market leader in quantum computing hardware based on photonics, QuiX Quantum, collaborate in a project to develop software addressing industry use cases for QuiX Quantum's quantum computer based on photonics.

Modern atomic quantum clocks are the most precise and accurate scientific instruments ever created. Currently, these so-called optical atomic clocks are mostly found in physics laboratories, often filling an entire laboratory. The AQuRA-consortium brings together European universities, industry partners and EU metrology institutes in an effort to make quantum clocks more robust and compact. This will allow real-world applications like significantly improved and faster telecommunication networks, or underground exploration using fluctuations in gravity. The consortium led by the University of Amsterdam received a €7.5 million European Commission Horizon grant to achieve their goals over the next three and a half years.
