Quantum Machines has acquired QHarbor, bolstering its hybrid quantum-classical control platform and establishing a stronghold in Europe's quantum ecosystem with a new office in Delft. This move enhances the company's Orchestration Platform, which seamlessly integrates hardware and software for real-time control of quantum processors across various qubit modalities, facilitating the transition to hybrid quantum-classical computing. The QHarbor team will drive research and development in Delft, concentrating on software-defined experimentation, data management, and system-level integration. This acquisition underscores the urgency of migrating to post-quantum cryptography, as quantum developments narrow the timeline for cryptographic updates1. The implications of this acquisition are significant, as it increases the pressure on organizations to prioritize planning for post-quantum cryptography, making it essential for practitioners to stay ahead of the curve in preparing for the impending cryptographic migration.
