Quantum Lab

Quantum computing could enable companies to operate more efficiently and sustainably in the near future. The complexity of the technology still poses challenges for a widespread application, as quantum computers work in a completely different way to conventional computers. The Quantum Lab promotes targeted knowledge transfer to companies and the public, supporting the successful application of this key technology. Regardless of prior knowledge, the Quantum Hardware Lab makes the phenomena of quantum physics tangible to a broad target group. In the Quantum Software Lab, developers can program quantum algorithms for real-life applications. 

In 1919, Max Planck was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contribution to the development of quantum theory. Around 100 years later, explore the world of its unique phenomena in the Quantum Hardware Lab. The uncertainty principle, superposition and entanglement: the experiments illustrate the central effects of quantum mechanics. We explain the basics of quantum algorithms and show you the advantages and challenges of quantum computing. If you want to understand quantum software and fancy a cup of coffee, you can use the QoffeeMaker to prepare a hot drink based on quantum circuits.

The Quantum Software Lab offers a hands-on introduction to the complex world of quantum algorithms. Here, developers gain their first interactive experience of programming (hybrid) quantum algorithms or expand their existing skills. For the best possible learning effects, the modern computer pool has eight workstations with a connection to classic high-performance computers and cloud access to the "IBM Quantum System One" in Ehningen - Europe's first commercially usable quantum computer on German ground.

Our work focuses on quantum software development for industrial applications. We do research in the following focus areas:

• Fault Tolerant Quantum Computing
• Quantum Machine Learning
• Quantum Service Engineering 
• Quantum Training und Ecosystem Building
