TNO Quantum is dedicated to developing reusable software components for applying current and near-term quantum technology. Our code base is use-case driven and contains fully-functional, self-contained software components, which can be used as building blocks to enable further development of quantum applications. Currently, the focus of TNO Quantum is on secure communication, optimization, simulation, and machine learning.

TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research, is an independent research organisation that aims for a safer, healthier, and more sustainable life. As an independent research organisation, we are the driving force behind innovation. We make knowledge serve the common good.

We focus on contributing to solutions for the following four societal challenges:

1. Safe and secure society
2. Healthy society
3. Sustainable society
4. Digital society

TNO Quantum contributes to the Digital society and Safe and secure society challenges. More information about our mission and strategy can be found on our website. See also our blog posts:
