About
Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is a public technical university founded in 1842 and located in Delft, Netherlands. It hosts QuTech, a world-leading quantum research institute formed as a collaboration between TU Delft and TNO that advances quantum computing and the quantum internet. QuTech develops quantum processors, including spin qubits in silicon and superconducting qubits, that advance scalable quantum computing. TU Delft researchers contribute to quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, quantum networks, and quantum hardware. The university has produced quantum technology spinouts and maintains strong European quantum partnerships. Through fundamental research, quantum education, and technology transfer, TU Delft serves the quantum research community and supports quantum technology leadership in the Netherlands and across Europe. In 2025, QuTech released the Tuna-5 spin-qubit processor on its Quantum Inspire cloud, and in 2026 TU Delft researchers introduced the QARPET chip architecture for characterising large numbers of qubits in parallel. Update 2026-05-05: Quantum Machines acquired the TU Delft spin-off QHarbour. Source: https://quantumzeitgeist.com/qm-acquires-qharbour/
