QuiX Quantum is establishing an office at ARENA2036 in Stuttgart, a key European innovation hub, while also preparing to deliver its first universal photonic quantum computer to DLR QCI in Ulm. The Dutch-German company is building connections between the Netherlands’ integrated photonics expertise and Baden-Württemberg’s strength in quantum technologies, formalized through new membership in QuantumBW and Photonics BW. “Strong ecosystems are essential to bring quantum technologies from research into industrial application,” said Robin Wittland, Chief Commercial Officer at QuiX Quantum, emphasizing the importance of collaboration for scalable photonic quantum computing. Dr. Alexander-Cornelius Heinrich of Quantum BW added, “With its focus on photonic quantum computing and its growing presence in Baden-Württemberg, QuiX Quantum adds an important industrial perspective to our ecosystem.”
QuiX Quantum Joins QuantumBW & Photonics BW Networks
QuiX Quantum’s expansion into key German networks signals a deepening commitment to building a robust European quantum technology supply chain, with the company’s first universal photonic quantum computer slated for delivery to the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Quantum Computing Initiative (QCI) in Ulm. This delivery represents a step beyond laboratory research, placing QuiX Quantum technology within a dedicated German research institute focused on quantum communication and information processing. Complementing this, QuiX Quantum has established a physical office within ARENA2036 in Stuttgart, a prominent innovation hub in Baden-Württemberg, demonstrating a strategic investment in the region’s developing quantum ecosystem. The Dutch-German heritage of QuiX Quantum is significant, bridging the Netherlands’ expertise in integrated photonics with Germany’s established strength in quantum technologies; the company aims to forge a corridor for scalable photonic quantum technologies across both nations.
This positioning allows QuiX Quantum to contribute specialized knowledge in photonic quantum computing, system architecture, and the challenging process of commercialization, fostering collaboration with a diverse range of stakeholders. Dr. Alexander-Cornelius Heinrich, Quantum BW, highlighted the importance of such partnerships. Network leaders welcomed the addition of QuiX Quantum to both QuantumBW and Photonics BW, recognizing the crucial role of industry in translating quantum research into practical applications. Andre Salzinger, Photonic BW e.V., stated, “We are delighted to welcome QuiX Quantum as a member of Photonics BW. Photonics is a key enabling technology for the next generation of quantum systems, and companies like QuiX Quantum demonstrate how optical technologies can be translated into scalable, industrial quantum solutions.”

Photonic Quantum Computer Delivery to DLR QCI & Scalability
QuiX Quantum, a Dutch-German company, is strategically positioned to capitalize on the complementary strengths of both nations; the Netherlands excels in integrated photonics, while Germany, specifically Baden-Württemberg, has cultivated a robust foundation in quantum technologies and high-tech engineering. This cross-border synergy aims to forge a European corridor dedicated to the scalable development and eventual industrialization of photonic quantum systems. The company intends to leverage its expertise in photonic quantum computing, integrated photonics, and system architecture to bolster collaboration with regional research institutions and industrial partners.
The company has established an office in Stuttgart at ARENA2036 and is further supported by membership in both QuantumBW and Photonics BW, networks designed to foster collaboration across the quantum and photonics fields. Andre Salzinger, Photonic BW e.V., said, “Photonics is a key enabling technology for the next generation of quantum systems, and companies like QuiX Quantum demonstrate how optical technologies can be translated into scalable, industrial quantum solutions.” This commitment to European collaboration underscores QuiX Quantum’s vision for technological sovereignty and the development of scalable photonic quantum computing as a driver of future innovation and economic growth.
With its focus on photonic quantum computing and its growing presence in Baden-Württemberg, QuiX Quantum adds an important industrial perspective to our ecosystem.
