𝗦𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 Photonics is often regarded as one of the key technologies of the future. Behind this technology lies a strong Dutch ecosystem. Seven players demonstrate what the integrated photonics (PICs) supply chain looks like: from design and production to packaging, testing and applications. Two of our ecosystem partners, PHIX Photonics Assembly and SuperLight Photonics, play an essential role in steps 3 and 4 of this supply chain. There is no single champion, but rather a supply chain in which every link is essential.

𝗨𝗧 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻-𝗼𝗳𝗳 𝗧𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀: 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘆 Clocks are all around us. Not just on our wrists or on our phones, but you also need them to measure time in order to calculate speed or distance. Atomic clocks provide the accuracy and stability required for this. However, current atomic clocks are as big as a fridge or even take up an entire room. Researchers from the NLNP (Nonlinear Nanophotonics) group at the University of Twente wondered whether they could build a small optical atomic clock based on integrated photonics. Akhileshwar Mishra took up the challenge, together with co-founders Edwin de Steenhuijsen Piters, David Marpaung and Lennart de Vreede. The result: UT spin-off Temporal Photonics. Edwin: “Chip-scale atomic clocks have been around for a while, but the smaller they get, the less accurate they are. Ours will be just as stable as the hydrogen maser clock, which is currently the gold standard for short-term frequency stability. The big difference is that ours won’t be as big as a fridge.” Read the story on Novel-T 👉 https://lnkd.in/eM4-CDMg

Just seven years ago, the team set out on an ambitious mission: to develop a full-stack photonic quantum computer. Now they have reached a milestone that not only validates their vision but also strengthens the position of the Dutch quantum ecosystem on the world stage. This achievement did not go unnoticed at home either, earning QuiX Quantum a spot on the front page of Het Financieele Dagblad. Congratulations to the entire QuiX Quantum team on this remarkable milestone. We look forward to seeing what the future holds!

Twan Korthorst, CEO of New Origin , was interviewed by RTV Oost in the July 2nd episode of the "Toekomstmakers" series. He discusses the importance for economic activity, geopolitics, and the unique position the Twente region has built up in the field of chip technology. In addition, obstacles are also addressed, particularly the problems surrounding water and electricity.
