Quantum Machines, building Quantum Orchestration: the platform that powers quantum breakthroughs and accelerates the path towards the new age of quantum computing, led by Dr. Itamar Sivan, Dr. Yonatan Cohen, Dr. Nissim Ofek, and the team, has announced the acquisition of Dutch company QHarbor and the opening of a new office in Delft, the Netherlands.
The move establishes a local presence within one of Europe’s leading quantum ecosystems and supports the expansion of Quantum Machines’ software platform.
Quantum Machines develops the hardware and software behind its Orchestration Platform, enabling comprehensive real-time control of quantum processors.
The platform is designed to support the shift toward hybrid quantum-classical computing across major qubit modalities, including superconducting, neutral atom, trapped ion, and spin-based systems.
The addition of the QHarbor team further strengthens Quantum Machines’ presence in Delft, reinforcing its focus on attracting top talent and collaborating closely with the local quantum ecosystem.
“As an American company, this step reflects a deep investment in Europe’s quantum future and a commitment to being an integral part of the ecosystem,” said Itamar Sivan.
The QHarbor team will form the foundation of Quantum Machines’ Delft office, contributing to software-defined experimentation, data management, and system-level integration for quantum computing.
“Joining Quantum Machines enables further development and integration of this work into a broader platform used across the quantum ecosystem,” said Alberto Tosato.
The Delft office, based at Hubbz Delft, will support R&D and collaboration with local partners, including institutions within the House of Quantum and the broader Dutch quantum ecosystem.
This expansion strengthens Quantum Machines’ European presence, adding to operations in Denmark, Germany, and France, and positioning the company within several of the region’s key quantum hubs.
