Quantum Delta NL: Make the choice today to keep investing in quantum, also after 2028
The Netherlands now ranks second worldwide in the science of quantum computing, sensing, and communication. At the same time, private capital for Dutch quantum companies grew over five years from €10 million (2019) to €160 million (2025). This is according to The State of Quantum 2025, the data update published today by Quantum Delta NL with key figures on scientific output, entrepreneurship, employment, and patents in the Dutch quantum ecosystem. According to Quantum Delta NL, maintaining and capitalizing on this lead requires stable, multi-year investments, including beyond 2028.
Development activities to be carried in part under NEDO project to advance the development of quantum computers towards industrialization
Kawasaki, Japan, August 1, 2025
Fujitsu today announced that it has started research and development towards a superconducting quantum computer with a capacity exceeding 10,000 qubits. Construction is slated for completion in fiscal 2030.
The new superconducting quantum computer will operate with 250 logical qubits and will utilize Fujitsu's innovative "STAR architecture," an early-stage fault-tolerant quantum computing (early-FTQC) architecture also developed by the company. Fujitsu aims to make practical quantum computing possible, particularly in areas like materials science where complex simulations can unlock groundbreaking discoveries, and to this end will focus on advancing key scaling technologies across various technical domains.
As part of this effort, Fujitsu has been selected as an implementing party for the "Research and Develo
Emergence Delft, het nieuwste ‘Dream Team’ van de TU Delft, combineert kunst en wetenschap om complexe technologieën toegankelijk te maken voor iedereen. Zo brengt de interactieve kunstinstallatie 'Coexist' de fascinerende wereld van quantummechanica tot leven. Samen met TNO breken de getalenteerde studenten het gesprek open over de impact van quantum op ons leven.
“Quantumtechnologie gaat een grote impact hebben op verschillende aspecten van ons leven. Door deze technologie beter te begrijpen, kunnen mensen beter geïnformeerde beslissingen nemen en actief deelnemen aan discussies over de toekomst hiervan.”

Delft, 05 June 2025 – In collaboration with Q*Bird, the BeQCI consortium (comprising Belnet, imec, Ghent University among others) and the Luxembourg QCI Lab (LUQCIA), have achieved a major milestone in European cybersecurity infrastructure. This achievement marks the successful deployment of a 132-kilometer quantum key distribution (QKD) link connecting Belgium and Luxembourg. It is the first cross-border Measurement Device Independent QKD (MDI QKD) quantum communication infrastructure in the Benelux region.
At the heart of this achievement is Q*Bird’s Falqon® Series, a cutting-edge, multi-user MDI QKD solution. The infrastructure now connects four nodes, including a central hub in Arlon, end nodes at the University of Luxembourg’s QCI Lab in Kirchberg and the European Space Agency (ESA) facility in Redu, creating a scalable, resilient and cost-efficient quantum network.
“This milestone showcases how European collaboration and deep-tech innovation can address one of the most urgent th
At HP Amplify 2025, we announced the "world's first printers to protect against quantum computer attacks1."
The threat of quantum computers breaking asymmetric cryptography – the algorithms that our digital world relies on – grows every year. Experts think there's up to a 34% chance of this happening by 2034. This would put encrypted communications at risk, compromise the existing digital signatures used for verifying the integrity of firmware and software, and dissolve digital trust.
Without quantum resilience, a printer facing a quantum attack at the firmware level would be fully exposed through malicious firmware updates, giving the attacker stealthy, persistent and total control of the device.
Researchers at QuTech, in collaboration with Fujitsu and Element Six, have demonstrated a complete set of quantum gates with error probabilities below 0.1%. While many challenges remain, being able to perform basic gate operations with errors occurring below this threshold, satisfies an important condition for future large-scale quantum computation. The research was published in Physical Review Applied on 21 March 2025.
Digital Realty slaat de handen ineen met SURF, de ict-coöperatie van Nederlandse onderwijs- en onderzoeksinstellingen, om de eerste quantumcomputer in Nederland te hosten. Deze baanbrekende computer komt te staan in Digital Realty's AMS17 datacenter, gevestigd op het Science Park in Amsterdam. Deze ontwikkeling is een belangrijke mijlpaal voor zowel Digital Realty als Nederland. Het versterkt tevens Europa’s leidende positie op het gebied van quantumtechnologie.
De Gemeente Rotterdam is een van de Founding Fathers van Quantum to Market.
In Rotterdam heeft het Havenbedrijf Rotterdam een van de eerste succesvolle Quantum projecten gerealiseerd.
Barcelona, March 4, 2025. At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona today, Eurofiber, a provider of industry-leading open digital infrastructure, and Q*Bird, a quantum technology innovator, are pleased to announce they have been awarded a €1 million subsidy from the Kansen voor West
European Regional Development Fund (EFRO) program. This funding will support their joint technical project, aptly named QUEST, to enable Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) across two of Eurofiber’s main datacenters in the Randstad, West region of the Netherlands.
The project marks a significant milestone in the development of Next Generation quantum key distribution technology, offering secure, tamper-proof communication between users. By leveraging Eurofiber’s extensive fiberoptic network, the collaboration will allow customers to access QKD secured lit services, ensuring robust data security for critical applications, across multiple local quantum networks.
