XQ1i

Room temperatur NV center demonstrator

Key Facts

– works at room temperature
– mobile and robust
– demonstrator for educational environments

XeedQ

Robust quantum computing

With a system like this you can use a handfull of real qubits for (some) real world problems like using noise for the simulation of molecules in their environment or an H2 molecule on just one qubit. This won’t solve big scientific questions or enable new quantum algorithms, but it will get you ahead in understanding the behaviour of real quantum hardware.

QSea I · Digital twin

Fully simulated digital twin

Key Facts

– Complete simulation of the QSea-I hardware
– Freely adjustable noise sources and parameters
– Up to 10 simulated qubits
– All to all connectivity
– Switchable extra functions
– Already tested at DLR

eleQtron | ParityQC | NXP Semiconductors

Like the real thing, only better

Sometimes it has to be a simulacrum: With this digital twin of the QSea I, we not only provide a realistic simulation of the real hardware, but also make it possible to fine-tune its parameters. This allows us to develop tricky quantum algorithms that utilise the real properties of the system, such as its noise. And agile algorithms can be tested under controlled conditions before they are implemented on the real system.

FAQ

Initially, only DLR QCI projects will have access to QCI Connect. However, we will extend access to other user groups as soon as possible. You can request access permission here.

Yes, an emulator for up to 24 qubits and a compiler are currently available, with which user circuits can be transpiled to the actual qubit connectivity and the available native gateset. Further features such as a library with application examples are planned for the future.

Of course, QCI Connect can be used both via the web front end and via API access. Additional functions, such as job batching, are also available via API.

All computers are operated or set up within Germany at the innovation centres in Ulm and Hamburg.
