House of Quantum

🎉 Yesterday marked the official opening of our second House of Quantum building: DT01 🎉 Our newest location is in the heart of the Delft Tech Park, accommodating up to 200 individuals and providing an exciting space for national and international companies to collaborate and innovate in quantum technology. Special thanks to PM² projectmanagers labadviseurs | part of BRINK, Constructif, Kuijpers, Bureau Bouwkunde, RHTHMstudio, Furnify - Circular Design & Build, NORNORM, building owner Family van Haren, and our incredible team, whose dedication ensured the successful completion of this project in under a year. And - of course - to Quantum Delta NL for powering & supporting our growth. Warm welcome to our inaugural tenants, including Q*BIRD B.V., Xairos, OPNT, Hoursec, Equal1, and Qblox Field Lab. Soon to follow will be the Mechanical Sensing Testbed (in collaboration with AMOLF & Delft University of Technology), and others to be announced. This is an exciting moment, as we continue to expand and work towards our mission of a national House of Quantum community, spreading across the various quantum hubs. ✨ We were honoured to celebrate this milestone yesterday, alongside members of our community and distinguished guests. ✨ For our opening ceremony, we hosted notable figures such as King’s Commissioner of South Holland Jaap Smit, Delft Mayor Frank van Vliet, EU Parliamentarian Bart Groothuis, and Thales Nederland CTO Lukas Roffel. Their speeches underlined the significance of quantum technologies and emphasised the necessity for ongoing investment in this field. ✨ During the opening, Christiaan van Oord, Director of House of Quantum, and Ecosystem Lead Shahar Graf offered attendees a look into the rapid growth of House of Quantum community and its latest facility. Followed by Pieter de Witte, Director Research Programmes & IP at Quantum Delta NL, who shared about our ecosystem approach, and the value of building technology clusters. ✨ In another highlight of the day, we were honoured to host a delegation from Sweden, including His Majesty King Carl Gustav XVI and Ericsson CTO Erik Ekudden, underscoring the significant interest and relevance of quantum technologies in the Netherlands. ✨ As Christiaan van Oord stated, "It’s crucial to showcase the relevance of Quantum and the Netherlands’ role in this field to visiting delegations and dignitaries from around the world. House of Quantum is where everything converges – to explore our ecosystem, develop R&D, and collaborate as a community." ✨ We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our guests, members, community, and partners who joined us in celebrating the opening of our second building and the ongoing expansion of our ecosystem. 📣 Official announcement here: https://lnkd.in/eHBsxKWZ

🌟 Have you met QuantrolOx? 🌟 Joining us all the way from Finland, they've landed at #HouseOfQuantum in Delft! QuantrolOx is on a mission to fully automate quantum computers, allowing quantum scientists to focus on advancing the field rather than fine-tuning qubits. Their #QuantumEdge solution is already making waves, reducing complex quantum operations to mere seconds. We’re thrilled to support QuantrolOx as they grow their presence in the Netherlands and collaborate with fellow innovators in the ecosystem, like QuantWare, Qblox & more. Great to have you with us, Vishal Chatrath, Kati Suard, Jelena Trbovic, Anssi Collin, Dominic Lennon & team! Here’s to accelerating the path to practical quantum computers together! 🚀 #QuantumComputing #Innovation #DeepTech #QuantumDeltaNL

🌟 Meet the Member: Xairos, OPNT & Hoursec 🌟 We're excited to introduce not one, but threes (!) of our members who are collaborating to push the boundaries of innovation. 🔹 Xairos: With their pioneering patented Quantum Clock Synchronization (”QCS”) technology, XAIROS aims to revolutionize network time signals, surpassing GPS accuracy by orders of magnitude. With inherent quantum communication security, QCS will be delivered via a global satellite fleet, serving both commercial and government network end-users. 🔹 OPNT: A global leader in time synchronization solutions and Timing as a Service, OPNT utilizes White Rabbit technology to provide redundancy, up to 7 clock segments and unparalleled accuracy of sub 60 picoseconds over 100km. 🔹 Hoursec: This innovative early-stage AI speed-up startup is transforming AI processing with a novel software/hardware architecture that reduces training data by up to 80%. Hoursec's groundbreaking approach enables simultaneous AI inference and training on the same chip, enhancing real-time data processing, error correction and inference while significantly reducing energy consumption. **Together** these companies are collaborating to synchronise clocks over free space and fiber, with a target accuracy of 10 picoseconds. Want to hear more? Reach out to David Mitlyng, Marco Gorter or Alexandra Pinto! Stay tuned for more updates as these innovators shape the future of synchronisation, Quantum and AI technology 🚀🔧 #HoQ #QuantumTech #Collaboration #MeetTheMember

🌟 Exciting Times at DT01! 🌟 Since the opening of our new building DT01, things have been bustling 🚀 A month ago, the Defense team and the Knowledge, Innovation, Experiments, and Simulation (KIXS) department from Joint IV Commando, part of Materiel and IT Command, hosted a Quantum Hackathon in House of Quantum. The event was co-organized with House of Quantum members Quantum Delta NL, Q*BIRD B.V., and Joint IV Commando. This gathering brought together individuals from the Ministry of Defence, government institutions and industry experts, all sharing a keen interest in quantum technology and its applications in security. Their combined expertise led to a deeper understanding of this technology, as well as potential improvements and solutions it can offer.💡 The meeting was part of a larger European initiative that KIXS is involved in, known as QCINED - a program aims to develop various Quantum Networks in the Netherlands, laying the groundwork for a broader European Quantum Network in the future. 👥 We’re always excited to see our community collaborate, and even more so when addressing societal challenges. 🌍✨ Photo credit: Joint IV Commando 📸

Quantum Rewind: Our 2nd location unveiled! This May, we officially opened the doors to building DT01, and spent the evening showcasing some of our #HouseofQuantum members, welcoming special guests and connecting with friends of HoQ. Thanks again to our guest speakers for joining us: King’s Commissioner of South Holland Jaap Smit, Delft Mayor Frank van Vliet, EU Parliamentarian Bart Groothuis, and Thales CTO Lukas Roffel. The building is now up and running, with first members settled into their offices, quantum labs & makerspaces: Q*BIRD B.V., Quantum Computer Field Lab (Qblox, InnovationQuarter, Demcon), OPNT, Hoursec, Xairos, Mechanical Sensing Testbed (AMOLF, Delft University of Technology), KIXS, Equal1… and more to come!

Just the other week, we kicked off the #QM24 festivities in Delft with two significant events hosted in our buildings! 🤝 #1 The Delft Diamond Forum 💎 (hosted by Quantum Delft) started the day, bringing together leading academic and industry experts in Diamond-related quantum technology. It was a pleasure to host this event in our new building, DT01! Speakers included: Ronald Hanson, Tim Taminiau, Kenichi Kawaguchi, Gabriele Bulgarini, Matthew Markham, Lykourgos Bougas, Phil Diggle, Tahereh Niknejad, PhD, Salahuddin Nur, and Melih Türkay B. #2 Quantum Block Party brought together our quantum community, and showcased our neighborhood (Delft Techpark) to familiar faces and international guests. We even had delegations visiting us earlier in the day, from the UK & Canada —who all joined the celebration. 🎉 After dinner at House of Quantum, we marched down the street (with slight rain, in true Netherlands fashion) to the Qblox HQ for some live music, quantum games and royal blue drinks. 🎶👾 The day was co-hosted by key members of our local community: Quantum Delft, Delft Circuits, Q*BIRD B.V., QuantrolOx, Qblox, QDNL’s Talent and Learning Center Delft/Leiden, and QuTech. We are proud to have these opportunities to showcase what we’re all building together, and want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to making the day and the start of Quantum Meets week so special. 💛 Thank you to Rebekka Mell for capturing the moment! 📸 Have a look at all the photos here: https://lnkd.in/dYYcrQNr #Quantummeets #QM24 #Quantumecosystem
