FrostByte is a newly founded Dutch deep-tech venture emerging from Europe’s quantum research hotbed. Spun out of TU Delft’s QuTech institute in 2025, FrostByte develops ultra-cold cryogenic electronics to overcome one of quantum computing’s biggest hurdles: scaling up qubit systems [1] . Quantum computers require controlling and reading out thousands or millions of qubits at temperatures near absolute zero. Traditional setups run control wiring from room-temperature electronics to each qubit, a method that simply won’t scale beyond small prototypes [2] .
