On April 14, Quantum Delta NL joined forces with the University of Twente, MESA+, and national partners to celebrate World Quantum Day — a national highlight during the International Year of Quantum. Hosted at the University of Twente, the day brought together researchers, students, industry leaders, policymakers, and the public to explore how quantum technology is shaping our future. From hands-on workshops and immersive exhibitions to inspiring talks and student-led experiments, the programme sparked curiosity and connection across generations. A special moment? The evening event Quantum for Everyone, attended by Her Majesty Queen Máxima, who joined guests in experiencing interactive experiments and a theatrical science lecture that made quantum accessible and exciting. We’re proud to be building momentum for the Dutch quantum ecosystem — and beyond. 💡🌍 📖 Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/ea_ZBqHP

🤩 Do you want to learn more about quantum but you don't have the background in physics or maths? But your favourite AI is constantly hallucinating and your go-to blogger is full of hype and bs? That is totally okay, because Koen Groenland has got your back! Yesterday on World Quantum Day, during the UNESCO International Year of Quantum, Koen launched his book. 💌 “Introduction to #quantum computing for business” is free to read online or you can order it on paper, with all the info you need. No none-sense, no hype, no selling you anything. Specifically aimed at entrepreneurs, but accessible for everyone. 👏 “When will the quantum computer be here?” or “What do all these crypto abbreviations mean?“ or “What is quantum good for (and what not!)?” Read or order the book using the link in the top comment below.
