About
Quantum Meets brings together researchers, developers, and industry players to accelerate the transition from quantum research to real-world applications. The three-day program includes sessions on "Entering quantum's industrial era" and "Moving from lab to application: Dutch quantum sensing testbeds in practice”.

Demcon high-tech systems will be attending Quantum Meets on May 20. As quantum technologies mature, engineering challenges shift from proof-of-concept to robust, reproducible hardware. This requires tight integration of mechatronic design, thermal management, control engineering, software, and optical system integration. Our multidisciplinary teams combine these competencies to solve the hardware challenges that come with scaling quantum systems.

The challenges we solve

• Magnetic shielding
  Superconducting qubits, trapped ions, and NV centers require accurate control of electromagnetic fields to maximize coherence times. We specialize in active and passive shielding, from DC to AC to RF.

• Vacuum (UHV, XHV)
  Trapped ion and neutral atom systems operate at 10⁻¹¹ - 10⁻¹³ mbar. Our vacuum system expertise includes design with outgassing sensitive components, often combined with cryogenic technology.

• Cryogenics & thermal control
  In quantum systems, heat is noise. We design thermal control solutions from sub-Kelvin to tens of Kelvin, with low vibrations and optimized heat transfer.

• Positioning & alignment systems
  Testing densely packed qubits requires precision positioning similar to the semiconductor industry. We develop systems with extreme accuracy for the world's biggest semicon OEMs.

Recent highlight:
Our colleague joined a panel at Mikrocentrum Techcafe on Quantum technologies, alongside experts from QuTech, TNO, and Eurofiber. Together they discussed the full tech development trajectory, from early-stage research to industrialization. Demcon's role: helping quantum companies move from early prototype to full-scale product.

It was a pleasure to join the panel yesterday in the Mikrocentrum Techcafe on Quantum technologies, together with Vivek S. (QuTech), Gustavo Castro de Amaral (TNO) and Marc Hulzebos (Eurofiber). Here are some of the topics discussed: 🔹Together we represented a nice distribution across the tech development trajectory. QuTech focuses on 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, up to TRL 3-4. TNO pushes (quantum) technology through the 𝐓𝐑𝐋 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 (4-6). Demcon supports (quantum) companies by industrializing technology, from 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥-𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭. Eurofiber is interested as an end user, in protecting their networks against the 'quantum threat', potentially by integrating quantum communication technology into their existing fiber infrastructure. 🔹Development in 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 is not just about quantity, but also about qubit quality. QuTech is working hard to improve qubit coherence and reduce disturbances. Meanwhile new implementations keep being developed that require less and less qubits to run Shor's algorithm (breaking encryption). 🔹Developments in 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 are just as interesting. We need a reliable and scalable quantum memory to store photons, for Quantum Communication. For Quantum Sensing, the sensitivity of qubits to disturbances, which is annoying for computing, is exactly what gives rise to high precision sensor systems. Some applications are already in the market, and the hunt is on for more applications where the trade-offs between precision, size, cost and other factors make sense. 🔹Meanwhile, the push for quantum technology generates many 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐧-𝐨𝐟𝐟 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 and developments in other technological fields, such as photonics, cryogenics, electronics, material science & fabrication and more. I'm always open to more engaging conversations about quantum and other emerging technologies!
