📍 Last month, Garrelt Alberts and Thorsten Last attended the ISIG Quantum Computing Infrastructure Summit in Silicon Valley, USA. At the event, Garrelt presented on 𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺‑𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘲𝘶𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘶𝘮 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘱𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, drawing on insights from our recently released white paper. 📄 The white paper highlights that testing and qualification remain major barriers to scaling quantum hardware beyond research environments. Fragmented and non‑standardised testing practices make it difficult to compare results and slow feedback between design, production, and system integration. 🏭 As the semiconductor industry moves towards commercial quantum chip production, scaling requires more than incremental improvements. The paper positions testing as a core infrastructure element and outlines the need for utility‑grade testing equipment that enables standardised, automated, and scalable workflows, continuous performance tracking, and integrated data sharing. 🤝 The paper also introduces the concept of a dark quantum foundry as a long‑term vision and highlights the importance of focused collaborations across the value chain. Initiatives such as the OrangeQS MAX Partnership Program contribute by improving feedback between manufacturing, testing, and design through access to high‑quality quantum chip performance data. The first companies to join the program are Rigetti Computing, QuantWare, and Peak Quantum. 🔗 Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/4vkoF4D 📰 Read the full white paper: https://bit.ly/4nKPf4i #quantum #quantumchips #testing #diagnostics #benchmarking #quantumindustry #OrangeQSMAX #deeptech Icecat Capital | Cottonwood Technology Fund | Ground State Ventures | InnovationQuarter | Qbeat Ventures | EIC - European Innovation Council | TNO | Techleap
