According to the release, quantum technologies are transitioning from an academic to an industry-driven endeavour. Various corporates, governments, and large VC backed companies are heavily investing in building quantum-computing, -communication and -sensing devices. In order for the quantum industry to flourish, a mature supply chain of dedicated high-tech products is needed.
Since 2017, Delft Circuits designs and manufactures i/o (cabling) solutions for cryogenic environments to operate quantum systems. These environments have stringent space-, thermal-, and electronic requirements. Cri/oFlex® technology carefully balances these requirements and therefore is an enabler for large scale quantum systems.
“The cabling solutions provided by Delft Circuits can be considered as a critical enabler to bring quantum technologies to an industrial scale,” said Christian Ziach, senior investment manager at HTGF.
So far, Delft Circuits has delivered hundreds of Cri/oFlex® cabling solutions to over fifty customers worldwide. Our revolutionary cryogenic circuit technologies have found their way into quantum-computing, -internet, -sensing, astronomy, aerospace and biological applications. By serving customers in academia, startups, national labs, global tech corporations and governmental agencies, the company enables the next steps for the quantum industry and high-tech cryogenic systems.
“Together we have a solid basis to enable our customers to take the next steps in the booming quantum industry,” said Daan Kuitenbrouwer, founder of Delft Circuits.
