Dutch DeepTech startup Orange Quantum Systems has closed an oversubscribed €12 million Seed round, the largest in the Netherlands' quantum computing sector.
The round was led by Icecat Capital, with support from Cottonwood Technology Fund, QBeat Ventures, QDNL Participations, and InnovationQuarter Capital.
Orange Quantum Systems focuses on developing solutions for automated testing and characterisation of quantum chips, aiming to transition to industrial-grade quantum computers.
Their products streamline quantum chip testing and address challenges related to scalability, precision, and cost-effectiveness.
OrangeQS MAX, their flagship product, sets new industry benchmarks for high-volume, standardised quantum-chip testing.
OrangeQS FLEX offers customisable chip-testing solutions, used by various research labs globally.
OrangeQS Juice, an open-source operating system, simplifies quantum research setup management for labs.
The investment of €12 million will be used to build faster test machines for quantum chips, reducing testing time from weeks to days.
OrangeQS aims to help chip makers double the number of reliable quantum bits every few years, analogous to Moore's Law in classical computing.
This investment reflects the importance of Orange Quantum Systems' technology for the advancement of quantum computing.
