We commission startups and industry to develop quantum computers and enabling technologies for us.
At the same time, 20 DLR institutes develop quantum use cases that they implement on our own quantum computers. For these projectes, even more companies are contracted to implement their own use cases or expand our capabilities.
In addition, DLR institutes develop ground breaking fabrication methods and provide the world class clean room facilities at our innovation centers.
That’s how we build a strong quantum computing ecosystem.
