Dutch quantum technologies startup QuantaMap has secured €1.4 million in early-stage funding to improve the production of quantum computer chips.
Quantum chips are complex and difficult to produce. When they do not work as well as they should (and often don’t), there is no way to find out why, which component failed, and how to improve the production processes. This is one of the major roadblocks to scaling quantum chips.
Founded in November 2022, QuantaMap has developed a novel microscope, allowing quantum researchers and chip manufacturers to inspect each chip closely to ensure and improve its quality.
