We were looking for companies to support us in the integration of quantum-based solutions and approaches in our mobility project QCMobility at the DLR Institute of Quantum Technologies. ParityQC has now been awarded the contract in the bidding competition.
In the QCMobility project, we are bringing together very different approaches for the optimisation of mobility problems in air transport, shipping, rail transport, road transport and intermodal transport. In this way, we want to expand traditional mobility applications through the use of quantum-based methods and provide robust solutions for complex optimisation tasks.
What we still lack is an overall architecture that links the respective application problems, data and software solutions of the mobility domains with our QCI Connect computing resources. By developing this software architecture, we are closely interlinking quantum algorithms and conventional processes and creating scalable solutions.
Combining classic and quantum
Specifically, the QCMobility | Integration of quantum-based methods project is concerned with the design and development of an overall system architecture for connecting conventional systems and databases to quantum computers and their interfaces to the other components of the overall system.
Among other things, interfaces to classic data and systems at the QCMobility industrial partners and participating DLR institutes from the mobility sector are to be taken into account just as much as the requirements of the mobility-specific use cases of the industrial partners and the participating DLR institutes. This applies in particular to usability in relation to existing conventional processes – an important factor for the practical usefulness of the solution for industrial users.
Parity Quantum Computing Germany
ParityQC focuses on the development of blueprints and operating systems for quantum computers. ParityQC works with hardware partners worldwide to jointly build quantum computers for applications ranging from general-purpose, error-corrected quantum computing to solving optimisation problems on NISQ devices. ParityQC is developing the architecture, algorithms and an operating system for DLR.
