QETw – Quantum Enabling Technologies Workshop 2024
Driving Innovation at the Quantum Enabling Technologies Workshop
In March 2024, we had the privilege of participating in the Quantum Enabling Technologies Workshop (QETw) — a landmark event that brought together the quantum ecosystem: researchers, technology providers, system integrators, and end-users. The workshop’s mission was clear: accelerate the development and deployment of enabling technologies that will shape the future of quantum computing and quantum communication.
Our Role: Empowering the Quantum Tech Stack
At VIQTHOR, we specialize in RF, microwave, and photonic hardware tailored for quantum use cases. We were proud to be invited as a key supplier, sharing our expertise and demonstrating how enabling technologies can simplify and scale quantum system architectures — especially when it comes to control electronics and cryogenic integration.
We presented our approach to modular, reconfigurable RF systems that are:
- Scalable with qubit count
- Compatible with low-temperature environments
- Designed for quick integration with existing platforms (e.g., FPGA controllers, optical links)
Key Topics from the Workshop
The QETw 2024 sessions highlighted three core themes that resonate strongly with our vision:
- Technical Challenges: The need for efficient signal routing, cryo-compatibility, and noise reduction.
- Enabling Hardware: Reusable modules that bridge quantum research with scalable engineering.
- Collaboration: The importance of open dialogue between academia, startups, and industry to align roadmaps and accelerate delivery.
We contributed to these discussions by showcasing real-world solutions that reduce complexity, enhance signal performance, and pave the way toward scalable quantum infrastructures.
What We Took Away
- Strategic partnerships: We engaged in high-value exchanges with cryogenic system manufacturers, academic labs, and control platform developers.
- Validated use cases: Our modular RF demonstrators sparked strong interest from integrators and research centers alike.
- Roadmapping: We aligned with ecosystem players on medium-term goals (3–5 years) for bringing quantum hardware to industrial readiness.
Why This Matters
Whether you’re a quantum lab, a systems integrator, or an industry player looking to adopt quantum technologies, our solutions are designed for you:
- For researchers: Accelerate your experiments with plug-and-play RF modules and reconfigurable testbeds.
- For system developers: Simplify your architecture with compact, scalable, cryo-compatible hardware.
- For the industry: Reduce time-to-integration with validated components built for quantum performance.
What’s Next?
Following the success of QETw, our calendar is full of exciting opportunities to connect and collaborate:
- VivaTech 2024 (May 22–25) – Live demos and interactive showcases in the Quantum Village.
- France Quantum Conference (May 21) – Connecting France’s quantum ecosystem.
- Q2B Paris (March 7–8) – Sharing our roadmap for scalable quantum hardware.
We remain committed to supporting quantum innovation through enabling technologies — bridging the gap between research and deployment.
At VIQTHOR, we believe enabling technologies are the foundation of the quantum revolution. The momentum from QETw 2024 confirms that scalable, modular, and robust hardware is not just a need — it’s a prerequisite. And we’re proud to help make it happen.
See you soon—on the ground, in the lab, or at the next big quantum event.
