Twente is the stronghold for quantum photonic computing. Education, research, and companies (QuiX Quantum, LioniX International and Demcon) work closely together to enhance the push from academic knowledge to the market. The TLC Twente is a centre of expertise where applied research and education are entangled and students can participate.
The first students of the Precision Engineering programme at ROC van Twente have passed the 'Cleanroom Behaviour' exam. This certification marks the beginning of new career paths in cleanroom environments – a critical step for the future of quantum technology.
TLC-Twente is pioneering permanent internships for quantum technology students within industries, emphasising the "teach the teacher" method. This not only empowers interns to mentor future participants but also inspires and educates them about the nuances of quantum technology.
Building quantum computers demands the expertise of vocational students. Our mission is to bridge universities, colleges, and vocational schools. The Leidse Instrumentmakers School (LiS) plays a pivotal role, using growth fund resources to nationally coordinate vocational education, focusing on qualification assessment and fostering institutional collaborations.
