NVision - Quantum Computing Company Profile | Quantum Navigator

NVision

NVision was established as a spin-off from the University of Ulm’s Institute of Quantum Optics and Institute of Theoretical Physics, leveraging nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond for quantum sensing applications in medical imaging. Founded by Prof. Fedor Jelezko, Prof. Martin Plenio, Prof. Alex Retzker, and Ilai Schwartz (CTO), with Dr. Sella Brosh serving as CEO. The company raised $30 million Series A in June 2023 to deploy quantum-powered hyperpolarizers for MRI imaging, enabling earlier cancer treatment assessment. NVision’s technology fundamentally changes medical MRI by dramatically improving sensitivity through dynamic nuclear polarization using NV centers in diamond. The company bridges quantum physics and clinical medicine.

SaxonQ - Quantum Computing Company Profile | Quantum Navigator

SaxonQ

SaxonQ is a spin-off from the University of Leipzig developing diamond-based quantum computers with programmable qubit systems that operate at room temperature. Founded by professors Marius Grundmann and Jan Meijer from Leipzig University’s Felix-Bloch-Institut für Festkörperphysik, the company has delivered NV-center quantum computers to DLR’s Ulm Innovation Center as part of Project SuNQC. Their technology eliminates the need for cryogenic cooling, making quantum computers more accessible and deployable in any environment. SaxonQ operates Saxony’s first mobile quantum computer at Fraunhofer IWU and focuses on making diamond-based quantum computing commercially viable.
