QCI Connect

Let’s enable quantum

We provide our partners from industry, start-ups and research with computing time on our quantum computers. Via QCI Connect, they can develop their use cases on real qubits and in close dialogue with the hardware teams.

Our compute resources

Multi-qubit gate fidelity

Mobile for first experiences

On this freely programmable and diamond-based 4-qubit system, our teams and partners gain their first experience with real qubits and test simple algorithm and gate ideas in a realistic environment.

Thanks to its low space and energy requirements and its robustness, we operate the SQ-RT in our QCI Lab in Hamburg.

Key Facts

+ Operation at room temperature
+ Mobile use
+ Graphical UI
+ Ideal for training courses and exhibitions
+ Certified product safety

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.

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 gate set. 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.

We have commissioned the construction and operation of a good dozen more computers. The exact number may change as the project progresses.
