TNO has announced the expansion of its quantum information technology testing infrastructure through a new facility at the House of Quantum in Delft. The additional space is intended to meet increasing demand from startups and scaleups working on quantum technologies. The facility is part of the broader Dutch quantum innovation ecosystem and is partially funded by the National Growth Fund program under Quantum Delta NL. Located in close proximity to leading research and development hubs, the expansion aims to enhance access to quantum testing environments.
The new hub will support the development and testing of quantum computing systems by providing startups with access to TNO’s expertise in systems engineering, qubit tuning, materials development, and device characterization. These capabilities are designed to help hardware developers, QPU integrators, and component manufacturers overcome engineering challenges and accelerate time to market. The facility also supports collaborative innovation through integration with other national initiatives including Invest-NL and Techleap.
TNO’s test infrastructure is focused on rigorous, independent validation of quantum hardware, from quantum chips to control electronics. Performance benchmarking and interoperability testing across the computing stack are essential for scaling reliable quantum systems. By facilitating early validation and optimization, TNO’s facilities contribute to maintaining the competitiveness of the Dutch quantum ecosystem and enabling emerging quantum companies to move more efficiently from prototyping to commercialization.
