QphoX

Summer Team Outing 2026 ⛵ Last Friday, we had an amazing Summer Team Outing filled with presentations, team-building activities, and plenty of opportunities to connect outside our day-to-day work. We wrapped up the day by setting sail through Rotterdam with dinner, drinks, and great conversations. Days like these are a great reminder that strong teams are built not only through collaboration at work, but also through the moments we share together. Thanks to everyone who made it happen!

This week, our Head of Research Matthew Weaver is attending Optica Quantum 2.0 in Glasgow. Quantum technologies are advancing rapidly, and events like these are a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas with researchers and industry partners working across quantum computing, networking, communications, and photonics. If you're attending, feel free to reach out!

Qphox at European Conference on Integrated Optics (ECIO) 2026! Our Quantum Hardware Engineer Reza Hajitashakkori represented Qphox at the European Conference on Integrated Optics (ECIO), presenting ''𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘤 𝘓𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘶𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘘𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘴'' and sharing our work with the integrated optics and photonics community. A valuable opportunity to discuss new ideas, exchange knowledge, and connect with others advancing the future of photonic technologies.

We're looking forward to Ground State Assembly in Amsterdam tomorrow, where our CEO, Simon Groeblacher will join a panel on creating value across the quantum computing stack. The fact that events like this are now happening show just how far the quantum investment landscape has evolved. Thanks to Ground State Ventures for hosting!

QphoX was at the WIQD (We in Quantum Development) Annual Symposium 2026 in Utrecht yesterday! The theme, "It Takes a Quantum Village," captured an important reality: advancing quantum technology requires more than scientific breakthroughs. It depends on collaboration across researchers, industry, policymakers, educators, and the wider ecosystem. It was inspiring to hear different perspectives, connect with members of the community, and see the continued momentum behind quantum innovation in the Netherlands. Thanks to the organizers and everyone who contributed to an engaging afternoon of discussions and networking.

Wrapping up another exciting quarter at QphoX! Over the past few months, we've continued to make progress across our technology, team, and community initiatives. A few highlights from the quarter were welcoming two new colleagues to the team: Anjana Uday, PhD as our Senior Nanofabrication Production Engineer and Roel Burgwal as our Senior Quantum Device Scientist. We're excited to have their expertise helping drive the next phase of our growth. Our DEI Committee organized an Easter egg painting activity, bringing colleagues together for a creative and fun moment outside of our daily work and in recognition of Global Accessibility Awareness Day, the DEI Committee also hosted a series of engaging lunch activities to inform and encourage conversations around accessibility and inclusion. Across the company, teams continued working toward our mission of enabling scalable quantum networking, building on the momentum from previous milestones and collaborations. A big thank you to everyone at QphoX for their contributions, enthusiasm, and dedication throughout the quarter. Looking forward to what the next months will bring!

Today we are attending Quantum Meets organized by QDNL. This is a great opportunity to connect with innovators, researchers, and companies driving the future of quantum technology in the Netherlands. We’re excited to meet new people, exchange ideas, and support the growing quantum ecosystem 🚀 Feel free to stop by our booth; we’d love to connect!

Excited that our CTO Robert Stockill will be joining the discussion at 𝘘𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘮 𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘴 2026, organised by QDNL, on 20 May for the panel 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘋𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘱𝘴: 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. Dutch quantum startups are helping shape the next era of computing, sensing, and communication, and this session will explore what it really takes to stay competitive while scaling deep-tech innovation in a fast-moving ecosystem. Looking forward to discussing the challenges and opportunities around overcoming technical bottlenecks, accelerating market adoption, securing funding, and strengthening the Dutch quantum ecosystem. 📍 B. Amsterdam | 20 May 2026 | 14:45–15:30 CET See you there!
