Quantum computing needs more than breakthrough components. It needs integration. It may be the company that can integrate many highly complex technologies into one reliable and scalable system. In Part 1 of Beyond the Qubit, our Chief Scientist Jelmer Renema speaks with Frank Dekker about why systems integration could become one of the most important competitive advantages in quantum computing. Photon sources, photonic chips, detectors, feed-forward electronics, packaging, control software and loss management must all work together. That requires more than excellent science. It requires the capability to design, manufacture, calibrate, deploy and continuously improve a complete quantum computing system. This is the journey QuiX Quantum has taken: from pioneering photonic processors to building integrated photonic quantum computers. Components create potential. Integration turns that potential into a product. Watch Part 1 of the conversation below. https://lnkd.in/dBEJu96K https://lnkd.in/dnTbdfYX Thank you, Frank, for the insightful discussion. #QuantumComputing #PhotonicQuantumComputing #SystemsIntegration #QuantumPhotonics #DeepTech

From the quantum laboratory to the data center.   Thank you to SDxCentral journalist Berenice Baker for capturing one of the most important aspects of Carina: universal photonic quantum computing designed for deployment within existing computing infrastructure.   Quantum computers will not operate in isolation. They must integrate with high-performance computing, AI platforms, optical networks and established data-center operations. This requirement has shaped Carina from the start. Its room-temperature, rack-based architecture brings together the core technologies required for universal photonic quantum computing in one integrated platform.   Carina marks an important shift for the industry - from advancing individual quantum components to engineering complete systems that can operate outside highly specialized laboratory environments.   That is the path toward making quantum computing deployable, scalable and ultimately useful.   Read the full SDxCentral article via the link in the comments.   #QuantumComputing #DataCenters #HPC #AIInfrastructure #Photonics #QuantumTechnology #Carina

From Enschede to the front page of Het Financieele Dagblad. Thank you to Het Financieele Dagblad journalist Jan Fred van Wijnen for highlighting Carina and what this milestone represents for QuiX Quantum and the Netherlands. The Netherlands has long been recognised for world-class science, photonics and semiconductor expertise. Carina demonstrates that we can also turn this foundation into complete, internationally relevant quantum computing systems. For QuiX Quantum, this is an important moment. For the Dutch deep-tech ecosystem, it is a strong signal: breakthrough science can be industrialised, scaled and transformed into companies that compete globally. A milestone for QuiX Quantum - and a moment of pride for the Netherlands.

Forbes writer John Koetsier did a masterful job covering our achievement in delivering the world's first universal photonic quantum computer, Carina, this week, writing “Carina represents an important step toward enterprise-scale quantum computing.” John quoted our CEO Dr.-Ing. Stefan Hengesbach in the article, saying, “Other modalities will ultimately need photonic links to connect modules while preserving quantum information. Quix's approach is native to photonics, which means the communication and interconnect layer is not an add-on; it is part of the architecture from the start.” QuiX has always focused on delivering real photonic quantum hardware to real customers. With Carina, we’re building on that legacy, with a universal architecture designed to unlock the next generation of quantum applications. Carina’s hardware has delivered to the DLR Quantencomputing-Initiative, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space as part of its Universal Photonic Quantum facility and will be validate and connected to the QCI Connect computing platform.

📣 Introducing Carina — the world's first universal photonic quantum computing architecture for customer deployment. This is a milestone we have been building toward since day one. The photonic quantum computing field has always faced a fork in the road. One path: architectures that could be commercialized quickly but were never designed for universality or fault-tolerant scale. The other: systems with genuine long-term scalability potential that cannot leave the lab, making real-world deployment impractical. 🧑⚖️ QuiX made a deliberate choice to solve both problems at once: Carina is designed to implement a universal gate-set capable of running any gate-based quantum algorithm — and to do so in a compact, room-temperature system designed for on-premises installation alongside classical HPC and data-center infrastructure. Carina brings key building blocks like photon generation, high-speed multiplexing, cluster-state generation, scalable integrated photonic processing and fast feed-forward control together. Into a single, deployable system. QuiX has always been the photonic quantum company that delivers real hardware to real customers. With Carina, we do not change who we are — we raise the bar. The shift is from special-purpose systems to a universal architecture that only QuiX is set to deliver. 🛣️ And we intend to stay the leader in delivering deployable systems. 📰 Read here the full press release https://lnkd.in/dQedkkEd 👇 Download here the white paper https://lnkd.in/dCzxJsEK Carina is developed as part of the UPQC project of the DLR Quantum Computing Initiative, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.

If you're curious about where quantum computing is headed — and how photonics fits into that future — this is a great place to start. 👇 🔗 Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/dKXF9wUj #QuantumComputing #PhotonicQuantum #QuiXQuantum #DeepTech #IEEE #QuantumTech #EuropeanTech

Last week, we took the stage at the World Tech Conference as part of the Quantum Computer Builders session — and showcased our PACU at the exhibition as members of the Q-Alliance. Our Commercial & Partnership Lead Dr. Caterina Taballione joined policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers to discuss what it will actually take to scale quantum computing — and why photonics could be the only architecture answering that question convincingly. Key points from the session: → Photonic qubits used for computation can be used directly for interconnecting many photonic quantum computers — a fundamental advantage no other platform has demonstrated at scale. → Our silicon nitride, CMOS-compatible platform enables volume manufacturing. Our architecture is maximized for room-temperature operation — no cryogenic infrastructure required. → Hardware-level error mitigation, including our photon distillation scheme, keeps component counts low and resource efficiency high. We have also shared a glimpse at our roadmap and what it means for QuiX Quantum to be on the verge of delivering the world's first universal photonic quantum computer. The future of quantum computing is photonic. We're building it. #QuantumComputing #PhotonicQuantum #QuiXQuantum #WorldTechConference #DeepTech #QuantumTechnology #QAlliance

📰 📣 We've just published our Dedalo® Architecture White Paper — "Toward Photonic Quantum Computing With Logical Qubits." Building a quantum computer that works in the real world — in data-center environments, alongside classical supercomputers, at scale — requires more than qubit performance. It requires the right architecture. Dedalo is our blueprint for that. It combines logical qubits, photon-loss tolerance, and modular photonic hardware into a system designed for practical, fault-tolerant quantum computing. "The industry needs architectures that can both scale efficiently, and fit into the infrastructure where real workloads will run. Dedalo is our blueprint for that future." — Dr.-Ing. Stefan Hengesbach, CEO. 📰 Read the full Press Release here https://lnkd.in/dftkY4yT 📑 Download the White Paper here https://lnkd.in/dRT5kvQE #QuantumComputing #PhotonicQuantum #QuiXQuantum #Dedalo #LogicalQubits #FaultTolerant

We'll be at Optica Quantum 2.0 in Glasgow this week! Our Chief Scientist Dr. Jelmer Renema will be presenting on Photon Distillation — the breakthrough technique at the heart of QuiX Quantum's recent milestone: the first-ever demonstration of below-threshold error mitigation in a photonic quantum computer. Photon distillation tackles one of photonics' most persistent challenges: removing errors caused by imperfect photon sources before they can destroy entanglement — all while the computer keeps running. The result? A net reduction in system error and a scalable path toward fault-tolerant quantum computing. If you're at the conference, don't miss this one. 📅 Thursday, 18 June | 🕔 17:45 | 📍 Optica Quantum 2.0, Glasgow #QuantumComputing #PhotonicQuantum #QuiXQuantum #OpticaQuantum #PhotonDistillation #DeepTech
