Sparrow Quantum is a Danish deep tech company developing advanced quantum hardware based on photonic technology. Building on more than 20 years of groundbreaking research from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen, the company has achieved a technological breakthrough that addresses one of the most significant challenges in photonic quantum computing.

The company’s core product is a quantum chip capable of emitting a single photon at a time with extreme precision. This capability is a fundamental prerequisite for building stable, scalable, and commercially viable photonic quantum computers. Sparrow Quantum does not build the quantum computer itself, but rather the critical component on which the quantum computer depends.

In a world where quantum technology is expected to play a decisive role in areas such as data processing, materials science, and secure communications, Sparrow Quantum occupies a central position in the underlying infrastructure. The company also represents one of Denmark’s strongest positions within deep tech and quantum innovation.

At Thorsen Group, we see significant potential in Sparrow Quantum’s unique combination of groundbreaking research, a strong team, and a clear global market need. Sparrow Quantum is a compelling example of how Danish research can be translated into technology with the potential for global impact.
