Programme 1

Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to try to solve complex problems that conventional computers cannot. QDNL supports a strong Dutch quantum computing ecosystem through research programmes, funding for technology development and infrastructure, entrepreneurship support, and international collaboration.

Quantum Computing & Simulation

Programme 2

Quantum networks use quantum communication to transmit information between devices, making it nearly impossible to intercept messages. A quantum-safe network is essential for the digital security of critical infrastructure. With support from QDNL, the Netherlands is at the forefront of building these highly secure networks.

Programme 3

Quantum sensing enables ultra-precise measurement using quantum principles. To advance new quantum sensing applications, QDNL fosters an ecosystem of technology developers and end-users. We support the future of quantum sensing innovation through open calls, mentorship programmes, research support, and by bringing research and industry together to create innovative new applications.

Within each of our main programmes, specific attention is paid to:

Taking action

Groundbreaking technologies begin with truly innovative ideas. We invest in cutting-edge research projects and nurture ambitions that help accelerate translate scientific quantum principles into practical applications.

Research and Innovation

Progress happens faster when people work together. By strengthening connections between researchers, industry partners, policymakers, and the international quantum community, we build a resilient ecosystem where breakthroughs can thrive.

Quantum Ecosystem

Quantum progress depends on people. By developing and attracting top talent, we can build a strong pipeline of skilled professionals and help the Netherlands maintain its leading role in the global quantum landscape.

Human Capital

Quantum technology will reshape the way we live and work. It is our responsibility to ensure these advances deliver a positive impact. We focus on supporting secure, sustainable, and human-centred outcomes for society.
