## About

Established in 2020 and based in Delft, Netherlands, Orange Quantum Systems operational BV operates as a computer hardware manufacturing company that develops diagnostic systems for the development of quantum chips. The company was founded by Thorsten Last, Garrelt Alberts (Managing Director), Adriaan Rol, Amber van Hauwermeire, and Kelvin Loh. OrangeQS works with quantum computing companies and research institutions to provide automated quantum chip testing solutions. Its flagship product, OrangeQS MAX, is a turnkey, fully automated test system capable of characterizing chips with over 100 qubits, reducing testing time from months to hours. OrangeQS FLEX offers modular, customizable building blocks for quantum R&D labs, integrating with existing equipment. The company also offers Quantum Care expert-led chip testing services. OrangeQS Juice is an open-source operating system for full-stack quantum lab management. The company's revenue is generated by selling automated quantum chip test equipment and modular lab building blocks to quantum computing companies and research institutions. OrangeQS engages in B2B transactions through direct sales of its OrangeQS MAX and FLEX systems, alongside Quantum Care testing services offered on a contract basis. The company also provides customized system configurations tailored to client-specific quantum chip architectures and partnerships through its MAX Partnership Program. With the recent €15 million seed funding extended in April 2026, OrangeQS plans to accelerate technical development of its next-generation MAX product line for characterizing quantum chips. The company is developing pre-screening methods for chiplets that could be significantly faster than full qubit testing and expanding strategic partnerships with quantum hardware companies including Rigetti Computing, QuantWare, and Peak Quantum.
