The company

The Quantum Venture.

SAXON Q develops and produces mobile quantum computers. With NV technology and diamond chips, the system runs without cooling, unlike most other quantum technologies, and is insensitive to vibration. The idea came from founders Marius Grundmann and Jan Meijer, both professors at Leipzig University; they founded SAXON Q in 2021.
