  • D-fine and Planqc support QCI BASIQ | Continuum simulation

    For our BASIQ project, we issued a call for tenders to find a partner for battery cell simulation at continuum level using quantum computers. With their proposal for algorithm and…

  • DiNAQC

    A highly scalable digital quantum computer with 100 qubits based on neutral atoms

  • Neutral atoms

    Quantum computers based on neutral atoms utilise the electronic structure of atoms as qubits. To do this, ultracold atoms are trapped in optical traps and their state is manipulated with…

  • Multiverse Computing and Single Quantum support ALQU | Quantum Sensor Technology

    We were seeking companies to implement industry-relevant use cases on our DLR QCI quantum computers in the ALQU project. The bidding consortium Multiverse Computing × Single Quantum impressed us with…

    Wir freuen uns über kompetente Unterstüztung für unser Projekt ALQU: Die Beratungsfirma D-fine und der Quantencomputer-Hersteller planqc haben unsere Ausschreibung für sich entschieden und werden nun im Rahmen von ALQU…

  • 150 guests attend the DLR QCI Showcase Ulm

    We are still flabbergasted by the fantastic response to our DLR QCI Showcase Ulm: in front of 150 guests from the political, business and research communities, we showed for the…

  • ParityQC and D-fine support DLR QuantiCoM project

    Quantum computers are ideal for simulating atoms and molecules. They will therefore play an essential role in accelerating the research and development of new materials. In our materials research project…

  • The first of its kind

    Whether new materials, improved routes, complex optimisation problems or ultra-efficient machine learning: quantum computers are designed to solve problems where conventional supercomputers fail. The first projects have already started at…

  • D-fine & Planqc support DLR QCI project Klim-QML

    Our Klim-QML project has secured a contractor for the development and implementation of a prototype climate model based on quantum machine learning. A consortium of the consultancy D-fine and the…

  • Project DiNAQC: A scalable quantum computer based on neutral atoms kicks off

    Our DINAQC hardware project has started work at our DLR Innovation Center in Ulm, in which the startup planqc is developing a scalable quantum computer based on neutral atoms for…

  • Our experience at World of Quantum 2023

    The first moment of clarity came even before the first day of the fair: after the last traces of set-up had been wiped off our stand, the quantum computers had…

  • Optischer Tisch

    DLR QCI awards contract worth 29 million euros for the development of a quantum computer based on neutral atoms

    Neutral atoms, lattices of laser light, entanglements – the processing and memory components of quantum computers can be made from these. The more of these qubits that work without errors,…
