Delft's quantum dream team launches Project HAVIK, secures 1M investment from KvW - Silicon Canals
Briefly

The Kansen voor West program has funded the HAVIK project to accelerate the Dutch quantum ecosystem. This initiative unites key players in Delft's quantum landscape: QuantWare, Qblox, and Delft Circuits. The goal is to achieve top two-qubit gate fidelity, vital for superconducting qubits. Each company is enhancing specific components: QuantWare focuses on qubit architecture, Qblox on noise reduction for control pulses, and Delft Circuits on cable thermalization and crosstalk prevention. High two-qubit gate fidelity ensures fewer errors, essential for executing complex quantum algorithms and effective error correction.
The HAVIK project aims to achieve state-of-the-art two-qubit gate fidelity, a key step in enhancing the overall performance of superconducting qubits.
QuantWare will focus on refining its qubit architecture to optimise control over qubit-qubit interactions, while Qblox addresses noise reduction within their control pulses.
Delft Circuits will work on improving cable thermalisation and minimising crosstalk between lines to ensure signal transmission without interference and distortion.
Two-qubit gate fidelity is a critical metric measuring the quality and accuracy of operations performed on pairs of qubits, which is crucial for error correction.
