Quantum technology

Driving innovation

As start-ups and tech companies race to be the first to market with groundbreaking quantum innovations, they encounter numerous challenges. These include building extremely precise quantum devices, optimising manufacturing processes, and addressing complex issues related to measurement, control, and stabilisation. TNO Quantum technology has proven expertise in the design, (nano)fabrication, testing, and validation of quantum systems and devices. As an independent organisation, TNO ensures that companies’ intellectual property remains protected, while addressing their challenges effectively.

TNO started getting involved with the development of quantum technologies in 2014, and began to forge partnerships and expanding our knowledge and experience in this domain. Today, we stand ready to put our expertise to work to advance the entire quantum ecosystem to the next level. Our expertise ranges from the development of workflows for flawless device prototypes to the development of the new equipment needed to build those devices. We develop and improve quantum system architectures, operating systems (hardware and software), and data analyses and control algorithms that drive these innovations to perform at their peak.

Significant partnerships

Over the years, TNO has built expertise in quantum technologies by blending our own targeted research and development with significant strategic partnerships. As a founding partner in QuTech, TNO contributed to the realisation of Quantum Inspire, the world’s first, cloud-based, full-stack prototype quantum computer. Quantum Inspire enables co-development and collaboration that is advancing the entire quantum computing ecosystem.

Within collaborations like Quantum Delta NL, TNO contributes to building a powerful ecosystem of quantum technology development in the Netherlands. From computing and communication to sensor development, we work within Quantum Delta NL to drive Dutch innovation and drive the societal impact of these technologies. As a resident of Quantum Delft, we help to realise the newest advances in the technology.

Addressing challenges together

Whether in public consortia, TKIs, partnerships or private contract work, TNO Quantum technology is eager to help start-ups, scale-ups, and other organisations succeed in the new quantum industry. Contact us today to find out how we can put our expertise to work for you, and drive the entire quantum value chain towards the future.
