About this report
Europe’s emerging quantum communications specialist QphoX is a Dutch deep-tech startup founded in 2021 as a spin-off from TU Delft. The company is developing a novel “quantum modem” based on microwave-to-optical transduction to network superconducting quantum processors over fiber optic links .
Its core innovation allows room-temperature optical channels to carry quantum signals from cryogenic qubits, potentially enabling scalable quantum computing clusters and a secure quantum internet. QphoX has already demonstrated single-qubit optical readout in collaboration with partners and secured significant EU and national funding.
Key questions this report answers
- What is QphoX's 'quantum modem' based on microwave-to-optical transduction, and how does it network superconducting quantum processors over fibre?
- How mature is the technology, given demonstrated single-qubit optical readout, and how does it fit Europe's secure-communications autonomy goals?
- Which partners and EU/national funding support QphoX, and what dual-use markets does it target?
- What capability gaps or dependencies affect its path to scalable quantum clusters and a secure quantum internet?
