Quantum Machines expands in Europe with QHarbor acquisition
New Netherlands office strengthens presence in one of the region’s leading quantum hubs.
Quantum Machines is expanding its presence in Europe through the acquisition of QHarbor, a spin-off from TU Delft, and the opening of a new office in Delft in the Netherlands.
The move establishes a local base in one of Europe’s leading quantum computing hubs and is intended to support the continued development of the company’s software platform.
The Delft office, located in Hubbz Delft, will focus on research and development and collaboration with local partners, including institutions within the House of Quantum and the broader Dutch quantum ecosystem. The QHarbor team will form the core of the new site.
Quantum Machines, which develops hardware and software systems for real-time control of quantum processors, said the acquisition will strengthen its capabilities in software-defined experimentation, data management and system-level integration.
The company’s orchestration platform is designed to enable hybrid quantum-classical computing and supports multiple qubit technologies, including superconducting, neutral atom, trapped ion and spin-based systems.
The expansion in Delft adds to Quantum Machines’ growing international footprint. The company already operates in Israel, the United States, Germany, France and Denmark, and has recently opened offices in Japan and Singapore.
Founded in 2018 by Dr. Itamar Sivan (CEO), Dr. Yonatan Cohen (Chief Technology Officer), and Dr. Nissim Ofek (VP of R&D), the company employs around 300 people and is currently recruiting approximately 100 more globally across engineering, physics, product and operational roles.
“This step reflects our deep investment in Europe’s quantum future and our commitment to being part of this ecosystem,” said Itamar Sivan, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Machines.
