Founded in 2019, Quix Quantum has established itself as a major player in photonic quantum in Europe. After delivering processors to 8 and then 64 qubits to the German DLR from 2022, the company launched a cloud platform in 2024, facilitating access to quantum IT for the defense, health, infrastructure or even information technologies. This new financing will build a universal system based on unique photons and silicon nitride chips, compatible with datacenters and designed for mass production.
The CEO of Quix Quantum, Stefan Hangesbachemphasizes that this first universal computer aims to “overcome persistent challenges in ultra-fast feed-forward electronics and sources of unique photons”, with a new generation already planned for 2027, integrating error correction. This step is decisive for making quantum calculation truly tolerant of breakdowns, and opening concrete perspectives in chemistry, health, fight against fraud or artificial intelligence.
The photonic approach chosen by Quix Quantum makes it possible to envisage considerable performance gains, while reducing the cooling constraints usually associated with competing architectures.
The Dutch company Quix Quantum announces a fundraising of 15 million euros in series A in order to accelerate the development of its first generation universal quantum computer. The objective is to put on the market, by 2026, a large -scale system, resistant to breakdowns, capable of executing any type of quantum operation. The round of table was co-directed by Invest-NL and the EIC FUNDwith the participation of Photonventures,, Oost nl And Forward.one.
