Highlights
At the Quantum Application Lab (QAL), we drive progress by turning quantum ambitions into concrete results. On this page, we showcase the breakthroughs, collaborations, and developments that shaped our work over the past period.

When the hard part is choosing what works together
The quality of the team lies in the interactions between players. Individual ratings alone do not determine team performance.

What if we could make 80% of discarded satellite data useful again?
Satellite radar can detect remarkably small movements of the Earth’s surface. That makes it valuable for monitoring ground subsidence, infrastructure, landslides risks and other changes that develop over large areas.

Start with the journey, not the machine
Suppose you need to move something roughly 400 kilometers, say, from Amsterdam to London. What is the best mode of transport?

QAL at AQMCSE 2026
On 14-17 September, the team from Quantum Application Lab (QAL) attended AQMCSE 2026, contributing to the conversation on how quantum computing can meet operational reality.

Tracking methane from space: can quantum-inspired methods help?
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, with a global warming impact around 30 times greater than CO₂ over 100 years, and it contributes to roughly 30% of current global temperature rise.

QAL brings quantum applications to the forefront at Quantum Meets
On 20 May, the Quantum Application Lab (QAL) hosted a session at Quantum Meets, shifting the spotlight from theory to practice.

From complex mathematics to real-world impact: quantum innovation with ASML
Solving mathematical problems that are simply too complex for classical computing. In collaboration with ASML, QAL set out to explore exactly that challenge.

ASML and QAL develop quantum-assisted Finite Element Method for plasma modelling
For modelling plasmas in their machines, ASML engineers rely on the Finite Element Method (FEM).
Wageningen University and QAL improve automated cow tracking
The collaboration project between Wageningen University & Research and parties from the former QAL cooperation agreement focused on advancing tracking technology, can help farmers look after their animals more efficiently and effectively.
