About this report
Introduction: In a quiet laboratory beneath the historic Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, a small team of physicists is forging a key piece of Europe’s quantum future. Sparrow Quantum, a Danish deep-tech startup, has emerged from decades of academic research to commercialize a tiny chip that emits single photons – the fundamental particles of light – one by one on demand.
This unassuming photonic chip addresses one of the grand challenges in quantum technology: reliably generating the quantum bits of light needed for ultra-secure communications and powerful optical quantum computers. Sparrow Quantum’s breakthrough has quickly drawn the attention of Europe’s innovation community.
