Arq Quantum Technologies is a Barcelona-based deep-tech startup building hardware for the future quantum internet. We develop massively multiplexed, solid-state quantum memories based on rare-earth–doped crystals to enable scalable quantum repeater nodes for long-distance secure communication and distributed quantum computing.

Researchers trained the world’s most powerful foundation models on words. But human intelligence far exceeds the origin of language; it emerged over millennia of interaction, exploration, and the ceaseless negotiation of intent, action, and consequences in unbounded environments. Truly intelligent machines must acquire the capacity to perceive, anticipate, and improvise within the unfolding dynamics of reality. We embrace games as the ultimate expression of ingenuity and problem solving.

At Rhonexum, we accelerate the development of cryogenic electronics that advance quantum computing, high-performance computing, and specialized sensor technologies. Our cutting-edge low-temperature testing and modeling solutions for electronic components enable circuit designers to simulate and validate IC performance in cryogenic environments. It paves the way to build an ecosystem of cryogenic electronics that drive the future technological breakthroughs.

Q*Birds mission is to provide equipment for the current, and future European quantum internet. Today we build devices for quantum secure networking. Tomorrow we will enable general purpose quantum connectivity. Our unique Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology offers the following advantages: multipoint-to-multipoint connectivity; cost-effective scaling; improved security and it is future proof: our devices are designed to be upgradable with the most advanced quantum network technology. Q*Bird, founded in 2022, is a spinoff of QuTech and is located in Delft, The Netherlands. If you want to learn more about our technology, or if you are interested in joining our team, please visit www.q-bird.nl and contact us via info@q-bird.nl.

QphoX is a quantum transduction company. We are building the worlds first quantum modem™ device, connecting quantum computers across a quantum network. Our technology will form the backbone of the future quantum internet.

At Qblox we operate at the frontier of the quantum revolution. With a dedicated team of scientists, engineers and developers we are pushing quantum technology to support scientists worldwide with our scalable and low-latency qubit control equipment. We are the sole providers of quantum control stacks that can be easily integrated with our customers’ quantum computers. The stacks combine unlevelled noise performance, low-latency arbitrary control flows and can be scaled up to 100s of qubits. Our company is based in the Netherland and a spinoff of QuTech, which enables us to implement the latest scientific insights and take a position upfront in the worldwide race towards quantum advantage.

At Quantamap, we are developing cutting-edge tools for metrology and defect inspection for quantum chips and other quantum hardware. We concluded that one of the major road-blocks of quantum computing is that when chips do not work as well as they should (they often dont), there is no way to find out which component failed, and how to improve the production processes. Our novel microscope, based on SQUID-on-tip, will solve this and help enable the quantum revolution. We are a team of four founders and two interns, and we are motivated to solve hard problems that do not have solutions yet. We believe that our technology will have a major impact on the quantum industry, and will also have applications in different fields in science and emerging technology. We are committed to diversity and work to build an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. And you can join the journey now: We are hiring!

We deliver test equipment to create better quantum chips. To realize a commercial quantum advantage, quantum chips need to be designed, fabricated and tested. Creating the test equipment to retrieve the relevant information on quantum chip performance requires too much time and expertise from quantum chip design and fabrication teams. And therein lies the bottleneck. For the emerging quantum industry, we deliver equipment for industrial-scale high-throughput quantum chip testing. For the quantum computing research community, we offer easy-to-use tools provide our customers with fast and reliable testing of their quantum chips. These flexible tools are a result of tight coupling between our proprietary diagnostics protocols, curated measurement and control hardware and cryogenic environment. We understand our customers needs when they set up a lab for quantum chip development, and we incorporate relevant solutions into our products. Buying Orange QS’ products allows our customers to iterate faster and smarter in the quantum chip development process. Orange QS: know your quantum chip.
