Qubitrium (Türkiye–Netherlands; startup headquartered in İstanbul/Çekmeköy)
Activity Purpose
Main output and scope targeted by the activity.
To develop space-qualified, miniaturized and commercially integrable quantum communication hardware.
The startup's QubitCore payload was placed into low Earth orbit on 30 March 2026 via the SpaceX Transporter-16 mission. In-orbit entangled-photon generation and measurement are being tested using the BBM92 protocol. As earlier space quantum missions were state-backed, the claim of being an integrated/miniaturized commercial payload is a company statement.
