Startup
Research, development, and promotion of quantum technologies
Over a third of all DTU's institutes and centres is involved in quantum research in areas such as sensors, communication, computers, and simulators. Quantum DTU is a joint gateway to these competencies, spanning research, education, and collaboration, as well as the development of quantum technology.
Interested in collaborating?
Quantum technology has the potential to contribute to solutions to the many challenges facing the world.
DTU works to develop quantum technologies, both via basic research and applied research, so that quantum technology can become applicable to companies and authorities.
If you are interested in collaborating with DTU to develop quantum technology, please contact us.
Quantum technology–a growing field
Quantum technology is a new field for which we do not yet know the full potential. For example, we expect that the quantum computer will be able to perform the complicated calculations that are necessary to solve societal problems such as Earth's climate, renewable energy, cyber security and the development of new medicine.
DTU is involved in quantum research, development, and startup in areas such as quantum sensors, quantum communication and encryption, and quantum computers.
Quantum DTU makes quantum technology available to society, companies, and authorities so that quantum technologies can be developed for the benefit of people.
