NXP, eleQtron and ParityQC Reveal their First Quantum Computing Demonstrator for the DLR Quantum Computing Initiative
30 Maggio 2024 - 2:00PM
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI), eleQtron and ParityQC,
working together in the QSea consortium of the DLR Quantum
Computing Initiative (DLR QCI), today revealed the first
full-stack, ion-trap based quantum computer demonstrator made
entirely in Germany. It will enable early access to real quantum
computing resources and thus help companies and research teams
leverage the advantages of quantum computing in applications such
as climate modeling, global logistics and materials sciences. The
new quantum computer demonstrator is located in Hamburg, further
strengthening the city’s role as an important technology and
research location in Germany.
A broader understanding of the capabilities of quantum computing
is required for this technology to be effective in solving complex
challenges. The DLR QCI aims to build the necessary skills by
creating a quantum computing ecosystem in which economy, industry
and science cooperate closely to fully leverage the potential of
this groundbreaking technology.
Quantum computers, with their exceptional computing power, will
tackle complex problems crucial for societal advancement, such as
weather modeling, medication development, and logistics
optimization, and are expected to change the cybersecurity
landscape. Despite the rapid evolution of quantum computers over
the past years, the path towards industrialization remains
challenging, as the industry lacks respective competencies.
NXP, eleQtron and ParityQC bring together leading knowledge of
quantum computing, software and long-standing industry expertise to
develop and build the first ion-trap based quantum computer
demonstrator made entirely in Germany. It combines eleQtron’s MAGIC
hardware, ParityQC architecture and NXP’s chip design and
technology, and is complemented by a digital twin. This will allow
for rapid innovation, design decisions and implementation, as the
QSea I demonstrator will evolve to a quantum computer including a
modular architecture, scalable design and error correction
capabilities. The forthcoming phase of the QSea project will
therefore focus on making the quantum computer increasingly
powerful and industry-ready.
The demonstrator is set up at the DLR QCI Innovation Center
in Hamburg and will be made available to industry partners and DLR
research teams by the DLR QCI. With this collaboration, the three
partners and the DLR QCI aim to foster and strengthen the
development of an advanced quantum computing ecosystem in Germany.
This will also support the strategic efforts of Germany and the
European Union to strengthen digital sovereignty in this critical
technology area.
QuotesLars Reger, CTO at NXP
Semiconductors“Hamburg is one of our most important R&D
locations. We are proud that, together with DLR and our partners
eleQtron and ParityQC, we are able to present the first ion-trap
based quantum computer demonstrator developed entirely in Germany.
We are convinced that industry and research communities in Hamburg
and throughout Germany will benefit from this project. It will help
to build up and expand important expertise in quantum computing, to
use it for the economic benefit of us all, and also to further
strengthen our digital sovereignty in Germany and the EU.”
Jan Leisse, Co-Founder & CEO at eleQtron“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
Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI)“To
achieve a leading international position in quantum computing, we
need a strong quantum computing ecosystem. Only together will
research, industry and start-ups overcome the major technological
challenges and successfully bring quantum computers into
application. 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.”
Wolfgang Lechner & Magdalena Hauser, Co-CEOs at
ParityQC“With the purchase of quantum computers by the
DLR QCI, financed by the BMWK, Germany is consolidating its
leading role in quantum computing. This is a critical pathway
towards the successful commercialization of world-leading research
and the creation of a sustainable quantum ecosystem that allows
companies to scale and stay in Europe. As a quantum architecture
company, we enable hardware developers to build highly scalable
quantum computers and we are proud to be able to do this with our
excellent partners in this consortium.”
