Quantum Computing

How can companies use quantum computers beneficially in the future? Fraunhofer IAO uses software solutions, algorithms and tools to develop, simulate and demonstrate future applications of quantum computers. In the future, they have the potential to outperform even the fastest supercomputers. What was only theory for a long time is now on the verge of a commercial breakthrough. The first German quantum computer in Ehningen gives the innovation location Baden-Württemberg a radiance from which companies can profit in the future.

Research

Quantum Machine Learning

We research the quantum-assisted processing of ML data and the design of robust and efficiently trainable QML models.

Quantum Service Engineering

By providing innovative quantum solutions as "Quantum Services", we will enable companies to integrate quantum computing into their IT workflows in the future.

Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing

We design high-performance quantum algorithms that avoid quantum errors through quantum error correction and coded logical operations.

Events

Exchange format

QuantumBW Colloquium

On June 27, Dr. Christa Zoufal from IBM Quantum Research will speak about the potentials and bottlenecks of state-of-the-art quantum machine learning algorithms.

Quantum Computing Training Program

The interactive course offers a comprehensive insight from the theory to the practical programming of a quantum computer.

Quantum Lab

The QLab promotes the transfer of quantum computing know-how to companies and the public. Whether entry or expert level: immerse yourself in the fascinating world of quantum!

Research and projects

Competence Center Quantum Computing Baden-Württemberg (KQCBW)

As part of the "Competence Center Quantum Computing Baden-Württemberg" (KQCBW), the first IBM quantum computer on German ground was set up in Ehningen near Stuttgart. Together with Fraunhofer IAF, Fraunhofer IAO takes over its coordination as well as the contact to local companies.

SEQUOIA End-to-End

The main goal of the collaborative research project SEQUOIA End-to-End is to make today's bottlenecks in the entire quantum software development process transparent and to research and provide performant, automated and controllable end-to-end solutions for industrial use cases through holistic quantum software engineering. The activities build on the results of the completed SEQUOIA project.

AutoQML

The AutoQML project aims to both solve the challenges of current AutoML approaches and to adapt the successful approach of AutoML. Future users should thus have easier access to QML methods.

QuantumBW

The office of the Quantum^BW innovation initiative serves as a central point of contact for the networks in the academic and applied quantum technology sector in order to bundle and strengthen them and make them more visible internationally. The Fraunhofer IAO manages the office together with the Fraunhofer IAF and the Center for Integrated Quantum Science and Technology IQST at the University of Stuttgart and the University of Ulm.

Quantum Computing Heilbronn-Franken

On behalf of the Dieter Schwarz Foundation and together with the Center for Responsible Research and Innovation CeRRI at Fraunhofer IAO, we analyze the potential, needs and challenges of the emerging quantum computing ecosystem in the Heilbronn-Franken region and drive forward research in the field of Quantum Machine Learning.
