Dutch quantum technology company Qblox has officially opened its North America headquarters in Boston.

Qblox, which is based in Delft, the Netherlands, said it was bringing the future of quantum to North America. By delivering the most advanced quantum control stacks and unparalleled technical support, the company is enabling researchers and innovators to thrive in the quantum era, according to a media release.

The new Boston hub will focus on propelling the adoption of scalable, high-fidelity quantum control stacks for practical, real-world use in computing and communications. The decision to establish a North American headquarters in Boston, positions Qblox to forge strategic partnerships and accelerate the development of a quantum-enabled world, the company said.

“Massachusetts is setting the standard for what public-private collaboration can achieve in deep tech, and Boston offers an exceptional blend of world-class talent, cutting-edge research institutions, and a thriving innovation ecosystem,” said Niels Bultink, CEO of Qblox. “As we expand our North American presence from Boston, we’re not just contributing to this growing ecosystem; we’re actively aligning our roadmap with leading companies in the quantum industry.”

“Congratulations to Qblox for this important step, bringing important quantum developments with economic impact and jobs to the United States,” said Deputy Consul General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in New York, Barry Nieuwenhuijs. “Within the EU and globally, the Netherlands aims to play a leading role in quantum. Our ambition is clear: by 2035, we aim to have a self-sufficient and internationally leading quantum ecosystem. Quantum Computing is the new frontier of innovation, with both the Netherlands and the United States as strong leaders in this field.
