Imec

Imec is a world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies based in Leuven, Belgium, founded in 1984, with extensive quantum computing semiconductor fabrication programs. Imec collaborates with quantum hardware companies including Diraq, fabricating silicon spin qubits on 300mm wafers using standard CMOS materials. In June 2024, Diraq announced 99.9% control accuracy for silicon spin qubits fabricated by Imec on 300mm wafers, demonstrating scalable quantum processor manufacturing. Imec’s semiconductor fabrication capabilities enable quantum computing companies to manufacture qubits using existing semiconductor infrastructure, reducing costs and accelerating quantum computer development. The organization provides process development and manufacturing services for quantum processors, serving quantum hardware startups requiring advanced semiconductor fabrication for superconducting qubits, silicon spin qubits, and other quantum computing architectures.

QBee

QBee is a Belgian quantum technology startup founded in 2020 by Koen Bertels in Brasschaat, Belgium. The company focuses on quantum computer architectures, quantum accelerators, quantum computing simulators, quantum high-level programming, quantum genomics, and quantum finance. QBee defined the full stack for a quantum accelerator, which serves as the ultimate heterogeneous co-processor to be added to any modern computer. Koen Bertels heads the Quantum Computer Architectures Lab and is a principal investigator in QuTech, collaborating with experimental physicists on building prototype quantum processors. QBee provides education and consultancy services and has won the German Deloitte competition on global warming. The company works on chemistry, genetics, and space applications.
