An ecosystem is when many different players, organisations, companies and latent relationships have meaningfully merged into a complex, stable and productive whole. But above all, ecosystem: communication. That’s why it was so important to us to enable as much communication as possible over one and a half days at our annual DLR QCI meeting QCI All Hands: In familiar and new constellations, with old and new questions and – hopefully – completely new ideas about what is possible in and with us.
Over 200 researchers, founders and experts from industry make the DLR QCI a unique and strong ecosystem for quantum computing. At the QCI All Hands, they came together to talk about their need for quantum computing hardware, about cross-project exchange, about shared platforms and shared knowledge, about the need to make the successes of this ecosystem more visible and, quite often, about more of it. More exchange, more communication, more collaboration.
For this reason alone, the QCI All Hands was a success for us.
