European Quantum Leadership – Session 1: Quantum Computing
The raw of sessions on European Quantum Leadership (EQL) successfully kicked off to show the world, how Europe paves its way to a technological and industrial quantum leadership – watch it on demand and save the date for the next session.
ColdQuanta and ParityQC aim at Quantum Advantage with Optimization problems
Solving industry-relevant problems using a quantum algorithm faster than any classical computer is considered the grand challenge of quantum computing. ColdQuanta, a leading developer of cold atom quantum technology, has joined forces with ParityQC to build a quantum optimization device that can demonstrate quantum advantage on optimization problems.
RTO proposition for a competitive European quantum technology industry
Leading RTOs in Europe just wrote a white paper about the need of a stronger focus on the development of globally competitive, European ecosystems and Europe-centered value chains based on quantum technologies. “Europe’s Research and Technology Organisations (RTOs) are one of the cornerstones of Europe in taking the next steps towards a competitive European quantum […]

IQM Quantum Computers (IQM), the European leader in building superconducting quantum computers, today announced that it has raised €39 M in Series A funding, bringing the total amount of funding raised to date to €71 M.
New QBN member: Orange Quantum Systems
The QuTech spin-off based in Delft is a systems integrator providing quantum systems engineering, integration and support services to the quantum computing R&D market. Orange Quantum Systems was co-founded by part of the team who developed Quantum Inspire, Europe’s first quantum computer in the cloud.
Impact of Quantum Technologies on Satellite Communications
Quantum technologies can not only make satellite communications totally secure; they can also improve satellite technology through better materials, more efficient data processing and novel positioning. The Network Meeting of the German Center for Satellite Communications (German: Deutsches Zentrum für Satelliten-Kommunikation, DeSK) on 7 Oct 2020 was a great opportunity to introduce quantum technologies and […]
Successful QBN Meeting on Quantum Sensing
On 1st of October the Series of QBN Meetings on Quantum Sensing kicked-off successfully. The first meeting of the working group with the focus on diamond quantum sensing brought together leading science and industry experts from the entire value chain. Filtering the hype, the QBN meeting had a high quality in terms of content and […]
120 million Euros for QT in Bavaria, Germany
In the next two years, the Bavarian State Government will support the quantum sciences and quantum technologies with approx. 120 million euros, Minister-President Markus Söder announced on Sept 14, 2020. Bavaria wants to become an international leader in ‘Quantum’, from research to applications, and already has good prerequisites in research and an excellent and growing […]
New QBN member: Quantum Brilliance
We highly welcome our new member Quantum Brilliance to QBN! The startup is using diamond to build quantum computers that operate at room temperature. With this technology the quantum processors can be shrunk down to the size of a GPU accelerator card, which enables various applications from supercomputers to offices, vehicles and satellites.
