Bits&Chips article and interview with CTO Jelmer Renema

10 July 2025 – QuiX Quantum, the Dutch photonic quantum computing pioneer, today announced it has secured €15 million in Series A funding to deliver the world’s first single-photon-based universal quantum computer in 2026. The round was co-led by Invest-NL and EIC Fund, with participation from existing investors, PhotonVentures, Oost NL, and FORWARD.one. The Series A was preceded by the award of the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator program, a key initiative of the European Commission supporting companies that create and disrupt markets with their transformative technologies.

To harness the power of quantum computing for real-world applications, Fermioniq, QuiX Quantum, and Deltares have partnered to discover quantum modeling solutions that will improve water management and infrastructure.

[English Version] Amsterdam – Quantum computers often seem like futuristic technology, but developments are advancing rapidly. Google’s new quantum chip, Willow, has captured global attention. According to the tech giant, this chip can perform tasks that would take even the most powerful supercomputers billions of years.

ARENA2036 welcomes the QuiX Quantum team to the ecosystem! The Dutch-German company takes Europe's leading position in the field of photonic quantum computing and enriches the research campus with another key technology. The special thing about the QuiX Quantum technology is that when using photonic quantum computing, only the competitors have to dress warmly. The photonic processors can be operated almost entirely at room temperature, unlike the familiar method with superconducting qubits, and do not require costly and energy-intensive cooling. This technology offers potential for new applications and scaling possibilities from which many of ARENA2036 members will benefit.

Advancing Quantum Computing with practical near-term solutions via the Cloud. QuiX Quantum, the European leader in photonic quantum computing hardware, is proud to announce the launch of Bia™ Quantum Cloud Computing Service, its first Quantum as a Service (QaaS) platform for quantum and hybrid computing.
