The main technological themes are quantum photonics, quantum electronics and quantum materials and all make use of the MESA+ institute for Nanotechnology as common high end facility. With successful quantum photonics industry in its midst, the ecosystem surrounding the QUANT Centre is rapidly growing. At the core of all the activities at the University of Twente however is the talent development for the future quantum landscape. In summary, the structure of the QUANT Centre is such it adheres to the goals of the National Technology Strategy to increase talent, work towards funding and market creation with access to high end facilities such as the MESA+ Nanolab.
With around 100 FTEs working in quantum related topics the QUANT centre is one of the quantum technology powerhouses in the Netherlands. Most of the research activities are conducted in, or have spun out from, the various faculties of the University of Twente and are bundled in the Quantum Nanotechnology Twente (QUANT) Centre.
Each organization brings unique expertise, collectively enhancing quantum technology education and innovation across these European nations.
