Development of concepts for realizing scalable quantum computers and their application.

Contributions to QuantumFrontiers

  • Using the results of QuantumFrontiers Topical Groups to develop new quantum computing concepts
  • Basic research on scalable quantum computers which stimulates a wide range of new applications and future spin-offs
  • Identification of quantum computer tasks, which are of significant scientific interest and would enhance basic understanding of physics, chemistry, or material science

Collaborative Innovation

  • Computing for Quantum:  Developing Scalable Methods for Controlling and Utilizing Quantum Technologies for Metrology and (S. Fekete/TUBS, W. Nejdl/LUH, T. Osborne/LUH, R. Raußendorf/LUH)
  • Quantum for Computing:  Measuring the performance of quantum algorithm for achieving scalable and practical quantum advantage (S. Fekete/TUBS, W. Nejdl/LUH, T. Osborne/LUH, R. Raußendorf/LUH)
  • Quantum Machine Learning: Reinforcement learning for the automation and discovery of quantum experiments (S. Fekete/TUBS, W. Nejdl/LUH, T. Osborne/LUH, R. Raußendorf/LUH)
  • Optical quantum computation scaling technologies, that involve frequency conversion and entanglement of remote stationary qubits via optical qubits through fiber links over possibly long distances. This especially involves compiler research with the additional penalty accrued for valuable remote entangling procedures. (C. Osplekaus,  LUH)
  • Defining a roadmap towards scalable fault-tolerant quantum computers (L. Krinner PTB, D. Borcherding, LUH)
