Challenge
Classical computing is reaching its limits. But quantum computing is on the brink of revolutionising a variety of industries and applications, from personalised medicine and faster drug discovery in healthcare, to route optimisation in logistics. However, most competing quantum platforms require cryogenics and face scaling barriers.
Opportunity
The quantum computing market is set to be worth up to $131 billion by 2040. By enabling quantum computing at room temperature and leveraging the Dutch Photonic Chip ecosystem, the scaling limits of competing quantum platforms can be overcome.
Solution
The PhotonDelta ecosystem is building the first universal photonic quantum computer, with 100+ logical qubits.
Photonic quantum computing offers a uniquely scalable path to universal quantum machines. Operating at room temperature and leveraging existing fibre infrastructure, it overcomes the limits of other platforms. This solution positions the Netherlands at the forefront of quantum technology globally. It’s a long-term investment in transformational computing power.
Benefits
As photons work at room temperature, can be interconnected via optical fibres, and therefore scale in the same way as a modular data centre, this technology is considered the best long-term solution to current challenges.
