There are many ways to realise qubits and thus quantum computers in hardware. It is not yet clear which approach is the best way to realise a universal, error-corrected quantum computer. That is why we are commissioning the development of different hardware platforms and strengthening the quantum computing ecosystem by commissioning the necessary basic technologies and applications. This technological diversity and depth are one of our core principles.

Neutral atoms
Quantum computers with qubits made of neutral atoms are particularly easy to scale.

NV centers
Thanks to their high reliability and – relatively – simple handling, qubits from NV centres are a promising technology approach for quantum computing.

Photons
Working with light is routine: photonic quantum computers fit on a chip and therefore promise high scalability.

Spin-enabling technologies
We develop technologies for the targeted and reproducible production of spin qubits with known characteristics.
