About
QuTech is a quantum research institute established as a collaboration between Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO). Founded in 2014, it conducts research across the full quantum technology stack, from fundamental quantum physics to practical quantum applications. QuTech has contributed to quantum computing, the quantum internet, and quantum sensing, with demonstrations of quantum teleportation, quantum error correction, and the development of silicon-based spin qubits. The institute operates the Quantum Network Explorer, one of the world's first quantum internet testbeds, and has spun out several quantum technology companies including Delft Circuits and QuantWare. It collaborates with major technology companies, government agencies, and academic institutions worldwide, serving as a bridge between quantum research and commercial applications. In March 2025, QuTech released QNodeOS, the world's first operating system for quantum networks, developed with the Quantum Internet Alliance to let heterogeneous quantum network devices be programmed and orchestrated. In 2025, QuTech connected quantum computers in Delft and The Hague over 25 km of operational commercial fiber, a milestone for the Dutch quantum internet roadmap. Update 2026-05-07: QuTech researchers demonstrated the ability to entangle electron-spin qubits while in motion and teleport a quantum state across a chip.
