Episode 32: Scaling the Quantum Ecosystem in the Netherlands

In this episode of The Quantum Spin by HKA, host Veronica Combs discusses the barriers to scaling quantum hardware and how QuantWare is removing them with the company’s co-founder and CEO Matthijs Rijlaarsdam. QuantWare’s technology platform helps customers build exponentially more powerful quantum computers. The company also runs a fab that produces quantum chips. Matt credits the Dutch government’s early and sustained financial support for the country’s strong quantum ecosystem. Tune in to understand how QuantWare fits into the full stack ecosystem in the Netherlands.

Matthijs Riljarrsdam has a background in Quantum Information and did his thesis on the simulation of quantum computers in the Elkouss group of QuTech. He also worked at a non-profit strategy consulting firm. When he is not working on QuantWare's five-year plan, he likes to go hiking in mountains.

Host Veronica Combs is a quantum tech editor, writer and PR professional. She manages public relations for quantum computing clients as an account manager with HKA Marketing Communications, the #1 agency in quantum tech PR. Veronica joined HKA from TechRepublic and has covered technology, healthcare and business strategy for more than 15 years.
