As companies around the world build variations of quantum computers, Europe’s unsung heroes are building the infrastructure that makes it all possible.
Sal Bosman, CEO of Netherlands-based Delft Circuits, didn’t set out to build full quantum computers when he co-founded the company in 2016. Instead, he focused on the plumbing—the cables, connectors, and interconnects that make those computers viable.
“My mother once told me, ‘Look where others don’t go. That’s where opportunity lives,’” Bosman revealed to EE Times Europe. Her advice fueled Bosman’s instinct to pursue components rather than compete in the crowded race to build entire quantum systems, and today he argues that the critical-niche strategy is the right one for Europe. “We should approach quantum from a supply chain perspective,” he said.
