Germany / Deutschland: New quantum computing demonstration system commissioned in Germany

A quantum computing demonstration system, the first full-stack, ion-trap-based quantum computer demonstrator made entirely in Germany by NXP Semiconductors and quantum computing startups eleQtron and ParityQC has finally been commissioned. 

Jan Leisse, co-founder & CEO at eleQtron, said: “We at eleQtron believe that quantum computing will change our world for the better. The DLR Quantum Computing Initiative has the potential to become something truly great, and our pioneering Magic-based quantum computer lays the foundation for a vibrant ecosystem. As Germany's first quantum computing hardware company, we are proud to bring research excellence into the real world.”

Dr.-Ing. Robert Axmann, head of DLR QCI, added: “The QSea I demonstrator is an important step for the DLR Quantum Computing Initiative and for Hamburg. It enables partners from industry and research to run quantum algorithms on real ion trap qubits in a real production environment for the first time. This hands-on experience will enable them to leverage the advantages of quantum computers and become part of a strong and sovereign quantum computing ecosystem in Germany and Europe.”
