The alliance Quantum Valley Lower Saxony pools the expertise of more than 400 researchers intending to develop an ion trap quantum computer by 2025. Leibniz University Hannover holds a leading position in quantum technology and is therefore an essential partner within the alliance between LUH, TU Braunschweig, PTB, the Albert Einstein Institute and the recently established DLR Institute for Satellite Geodesy and Inertial Sensing.
