Quix Quantum BV

Corporate presentation

QuiX Quantum BV is a start-up from Enschede (NL) and a subsidiary of QuiX Quantum Holding BV from Enschede (NL). QuiX Quantum is a global leader in quantum computing, a deep-tech scale-up with 37 employees in offices in Enschede and Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Ulm and Stuttgart in Germany, and London in the United Kingdom. Since our inception in 2019, as a spin-out of the University of Twente, we have delivered 15 processors to end customers and won a €14M contract to build a Universal Quantum Computer (UQC) for the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) for delivery in 2026. We hold the undisputed record for the lowest propagation losses (< 3dB insertion loss guaranteed) and the largest interferometer networks.

QUIX is a fabless quantum computing hardware company that has a 100% European supply chain. Our ability to take a leadership role in developing the European quantum supply chain ecosystem and in helping to define industry standards will be critical to our success in delivering UQCs. Becoming the “Airbus” of quantum is one of our key strategies for development and growth. QUIX’s core IP, called TriPleX, makes QUIX’s photonic quantum computing technology superior due to its low losses, which will be the most important element of being able to create a scalable and affordable universal quantum computer.

Project contribution

Development and commercialization of quantum processors and full-stack quantum computer systems.
Requirements and characterization of the cluster state generator source.
Lab infrastructure for full characterization of the cluster state generators.
Extensive experience and software tools to characterize the on-chip elements.

Role in the project

The contribution of QuiX to the project involves the creation and marketing of quantum processors and full-stack universal quantum computing systems. QuiX contributes to PIC design, appropriate to testing, validation, and demonstration, and is involved with work package WP14’s on rq=equirements analysis and characterization of the cluster state generator source. In QuiX lab facilities, the cluster states are characterized by utilizing the software tools and the vast knowledge currently available to characterize the on-chip parts.
