The Quantum Startup

SaxonQ develops and produces mobile quantum computers. Using NV technology and diamond chips, the system, unlike many others, operates without cooling and is resistant to vibrations. The idea was developed by the founders Marius Grundmann and Jan Meijer, both professors at Leipzig University. In 2021, they founded SaxonQ.
