QuiX Quantum develops universal photonic quantum computers built on silicon-nitride chips designed for high-volume manufacturing. Its systems operate primarily at room temperature, are compatible with data-center environments, and emphasize scalability and energy efficiency. The company has delivered world‑record quantum processors and in 2022 sold 8‑qubit and 64‑qubit photonic systems to the German Aerospace Center (DLR QCI). In 2023 it began offering cloud access to its quantum systems, enabling hybrid computing and near‑term application testing across infrastructure, defense, healthcare, and IT. QuiX’s technology leverages single photons, superposition, entanglement, and interference to target applications such as catalyst simulations, molecular dynamics, machine learning, and data analysis. The company plans to deliver its first universal single‑photon-based quantum computer in 2026 and focus on error correction in a next‑generation system planned for 2027. QuiX Quantum, founded in January 2019 in Enschede, the Netherlands, develops integrated photonic quantum processors and photonic integrated circuits for quantum computing. The company focuses on scalable, plug-and-play integrated photonic solutions and says it has record-breaking 12- and 20-qumode processors with low optical losses. Many components of its photonic systems can operate at room temperature, which the company highlights as a way to reduce cost and size. QuiX plans to introduce a whole-system photonic quantum computer based on its 20-qumode processors and a next-generation 50-qumode processor in early 2023. The company reports it has shipped multiple systems throughout Europe and that its processors are the de facto standard in the UK, France, Germany and Hungary. QuiX announced a €5.5M Seed round and the appointment of Dr Stefan Hengesbach as CEO; the funding will be used to start production of a 50-qumode processor.
