quantum brilliance contributes to Bitkom’s quantum technology guide
-
Guide addresses the practical applicability of quantum computing in various economic and societal areas
-
Among other things, Quantum Brilliance is responsible for the technical coordination of the joint project
Bitkom’s new guideline “Quantum Technologies in Companies” focuses on the practical applicability of quantum computing and provides an insight into the important role that the technology can play in the future with numerous practical examples. The guideline was developed in the working group “High Performance Computing & Quantum Computing” – with significant commitment from Quantum Brilliance, German-Australian manufacturer of innovative quantum computing hardware. Both Dr. Mark Mattingley-Scott, Head of Europe, and Dr. Jana Lehner, Chief of Staff, wrote chapters, and Lehner was also responsible as the technical coordinator of the cooperative project. The guide was presented at this year’s Quantum Summit and can be downloaded for free at this link.
the goal: to establish quantum computing in everyday life
In addition to general information on quantum technologies and the current state of research, the guide focuses primarily on possible application scenarios for quantum computing. The application examples described range from fertilizer development in agriculture and subsoil analyses for mining to traffic optimization concepts, fraud detection in finance, drug research and the protection of sensitive data in public authorities.
“With this guideline, we want to show decision-makers from politics, business and society the enormous innovation potential of quantum computing,” says Jana Lehner. “Many associate the technology exclusively with science and research, but quantum computing can improve almost all areas of our daily lives if used correctly.”
“One of the biggest challenges for the practical application of quantum technology in everyday life is the technical implementation,” explains Mark Mattingley-Scott. “Quantum systems react very sensitively to external factors such as temperature, pressure or radiation. That’s why we at Quantum Brilliance are working on diamond-based quantum accelerators in a small form factor. They do not require any complex infrastructure and, due to their robustness, can be installed directly ‘at the edge’ in end devices.”
