Here are three key takeaways from our conversation that investors should pay attention to: 1). Room Temperature Operation –Photonics-based quantum systems are energy-efficient and can operate for the most part at room temperature. 2). Silicon Nitride Advantage – This material offers unique benefits in scalability and integration. 3). Telecom Integration – Photonics seamlessly integrates with existing telecom infrastructure, opening up exciting possibilities. A standout feature of Quix Quantum is its competitive edge through exclusive access to TriPleX Silicon Nitride, a low-loss waveguide technology. With signal losses as low as 0.1 dB/m. Quix is well-positioned to lead in the field.

The Next Tectonic Shift in Compute MightNot Be Quantum, It Might Be ColdEveryone is talkingabout GPUs, AI, and compute power.But what if the next revolution isn’t about more energy, it’s about less? In the new episode of Beyond theQubit, I sit down with Thomas Ohki, CTO of Emergence Quantum a startup born from the Microsoft Quantum team that’s now pioneering a newfrontier: cryo-CMOS and cryogenicelectronics.These are the systems that bridge today’s classical chips with tomorrow’s quantum processors,the connective tissue between the hot and the cold, the digital and the quantum.And here’s the crazypart:❄️ They built itwithoutexternal capital.No VC rounds. Nohype cycles. Just science, conviction, and partnerships.We talked about: Thomas saidsomething that stuck with me:“Research isn’t engineering. It’s learning to fail productively.”This episode will make you rethink what “compute” really means in a post-AI world.🎧 Watch or listen here → https://youtu.be/R_852Ar-HRw  #BeyondTheQubit#QuantumComputing #DeepTech #AIHardware #CryoCMOS #Semiconductors #Innovation#Podcast 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do notrepresent any company

The future of quantum is already touching patientsIn Part 2 of my deep-dive with MatthiasKaiser, CEO of Pex Machina, we explore how quantum simulationis changing drug discovery and why the next medical breakthroughs might comefrom software, not the lab.Pex Machina’smission is simple: help companies develop better cancer treatments.Quantum simulation is the tool that makes it possible, cutting the time, cost, and risk of new drug development.What impressed memost is how Matthias thinks about execution.He built a team that combines deep domain knowledge from pharma with real quantum expertise.They move fast, learn from every iteration, and build proof instead of PowerPoints.Matthias said something that stayed with me:“We’re not building technology for technology’s sake. We’re building tools that solve real problems.”What stood out in this part of our conversation:💡 Why precision medicine needs better simulationtools to scale🧠 How pharma collaboration is about access andtrust, not just algorithms🚀 Why execution speed and real-world validationmatter more than hype🎧 Listento Beyondthe Qubit – Pex Machina (Deep Dive Part 2)👉 [Insert Spotify or YouTube link]https://youtu.be/KN3LWO07Ol8  #BeyondTheQubit#QuantumComputing #PrecisionMedicine #DeepTech #Innovation #PexMachina #AI#DrugDiscovery Please do not forget to check out the presentationfrom Matthias (CEO of Pex Machina)https://drive.google.com/file/d/18LwU4QNtl3nRDAIcPWQ9kb2VLintVQEY/view?usp=drive_link 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do notrepresent any company

Building the bridge between quantum and real-worldimpactIn Part 1 of my deep-dive with MatthiasKaiser, CEO of Pex Machina, we talked about what it reallytakes to turn quantum research into something that matters.Matthias started out as a physicist but spent years working in business development before launching his startup. That mix of science and sales shaped how he looks at innovation.He learned early that many quantum companies start with the technology and then go searching for a problem.Pex Machina flips that logic. They start with real problems in oncology and use quantumsimulation as a tool, not as the story.Matthias put it simply:“We don’t want to push quantum computing. We want to solve problems that matter.”What I liked most about this conversation:💡 How sales experience helps founders stay groundedin what customers actually need🧠 Why quantum simulation could change how we developcancer treatments🚀 Why the real challenge in deep tech isn’t science,it’s product-market fit🎧 Listento Beyondthe Qubit – Pex Machina (Deep Dive Part 1)👉 YouTube link: https://youtu.be/mvHWPsyjF9A#BeyondTheQubit#QuantumComputing #PrecisionMedicine #DeepTech #PexMachina #Innovation #Podcast Please do not forget to check out the presentationfrom Matthias (CEO of Pex Machina)https://drive.google.com/file/d/18LwU4QNtl3nRDAIcPWQ9kb2VLintVQEY/view?usp=drive_link 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do not represent any company

In the latest episode of Beyond theQubit, I spoke with Matthias Kaiser, CEO of Pex Machina.What struck me most is how focused he is on solving real problems instead of chasing thehype around quantum computing.Pex Machina develops quantumsimulations for precision medicine, helpingpharmaceutical companies design better cancer treatments faster.Matthias started as aphysicist but spent years in business development before launching his startup.That combination gives him a rare perspective — one that blends deep sciencewith commercial discipline.He put it simply:“Our goal isn’t to push quantum computing. It’s to solve problems that matter topatients.”What I liked mostabout this conversation:💡 Quantum simulation as a bridge between AI,chemistry, and pharma🧠 The role of precision medicine in making cancertreatment more personal🚀 How real-world traction matters more thantheoretical breakthroughs #BeyondTheQubit#QuantumComputing #PrecisionMedicine #DeepTech #PharmaTech #Innovation#PexMachina #Podcast Please do not forget to check out the presentationfrom Matthias (CEO of Pex Machina) https://drive.google.com/file/d/18LwU4QNtl3nRDAIcPWQ9kb2VLintVQEY/view?usp=drive_link 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do not represent any company

🚀 Quantum security is no longer a future problemIt’s here. Today.When I sat down with Olga Mamlyga, co-founder of Quantum Scout Apps, one insight kept echoing:“Hackersdon’t follow the rules. If you only protect one layer, they’ll find another.”Olga is building a 7-layer quantum-secure network that protects every layer of the OSI stack: from physicalfiber to application logic.Not in ten years. Now.🔑Key takeaways fromthe conversation:• Quantum KeyDistribution (QKD) isn’t enough,  itcovers a single layer and is too costly for large-scale rollout.• Quantum threatslike store-now-decrypt-later mean thatdata stolen today can be cracked by tomorrow’s quantum computers.• Criticalinfrastructure: banking, power grids, hospitals,  needs protection before quantum decryption is practical.• Even cryptonetworks are far less secure than we assume.💡Why it matters for investors & builders  If you care aboutwhere deep tech meets national security,this episode is a wake-up call.Let’s make quantumsecurity visible  before the threat is visible to everyone else.#BeyondTheQubit#QuantumComputing #Cybersecurity #QuantumNetworks #StoreNowDecryptLater#DeepTech Please make sure tocheck Olga her presenation:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hN5a38MUbDyvP7CAobwNu1C1lnAzFq8n/view?usp=sharing 📌 Disclaimer: This post is shared on a personal basis and I do notrepresent any company.  #BeyondTheQubit#QuantumSecurity #CyberSecurity #DeepTech #StoreNowDecryptLater

"Quantum computers aren’t fast — they’re slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale. So why do experts like Koen Groenland believe they could still transform entire industries? Find out in this episode of Beyond the Qubit."In this episode, Frank Dekker speaks with Koen Groenland — physicist, PhD from CWI, author of Introduction to Quantum Computing for Business, and innovation officer at the University of Amsterdam. Koen has spent years at the intersection of academia and entrepreneurship, helping to translate quantum research into real-world applications while growing the Dutch start-up ecosystem through Quantum Amsterdam.Koen explains: • Why quantum computers aren’t “faster computers” but something fundamentally different. • How quantum algorithms, not hardware speed, will drive breakthroughs. • Why error correction is the biggest bottleneck — and what new approaches like surface codes and low-density parity check codes could mean for future platforms. • How encryption and blockchain could be impacted when hardware and algorithms finally meet. • Why he believes the Netherlands can become a global hub for quantum technology.Please check out the presentation from Koen:https://drive.google.com/file/d/17XnSkwlj1IWm3xZgsqyDx9u2ExSp5aGJ/view?usp=sharingYoutube:https://youtu.be/721ZdBjXPCc
