Quantum Computing Hardware Specialist Provides Know-How for Diamond-Based Quantum Processors
Initiative underlines Baden-Württemberg's claim to be a leading region for quantum technology
STUTTGART, May 10, 2023 --- Quantum Brilliance, a leading developer of quantum computing products and solutions, is an alliance partner in the Quantum Technology Alliance Baden-Württemberg, or Quantum Technology Alliance for short. QuantityBW. This is where the Australian-German manufacturer of quantum computing hardware, whose European headquarters are located in Stuttgart, contributes its extensive know-how in diamond-based quantum processors. The aim of the initiative is to promote application-oriented solutions for quantum computing. The core aspects of the initiative include the bundling and coordination of scientific and economic competencies and resources, as well as greater support for structures that make Baden-Württemberg even more attractive as a location for skilled and junior staff as well as for start-ups. Through the networking of relevant companies and research institutions, the region is to be established as a leading innovation location for this future-oriented technology.
State-funded research projects with regional institutions
Even before becoming a member of QuantumBW Quantum Brilliance had collaborated with other founding members of the initiative, such as the University of Ulm and the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF. The DE-BRILL project, for example, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with around 15 million euros, deals with the development of new techniques for the production and control of diamond-based quantum microprocessors. In the Spinning project, which is also being carried out jointly with Fraunhofer IAF and funded by the BMBF with over 16 million euros, a compact, scalable quantum processor based on spin qubits in synthetic diamond is being developed.
Diamond-based quantum computers for practical use
For Quantum Brilliance, the focus is on the practical applicability of quantum technology for a wide range of different industries – from aerospace and industrial to healthcare and financial services. This is made possible by hybrid systems, in which quantum computers work as co-processors together with classical computers and provide their enormous computing power at room temperature, i.e. without costly cooling and complex infrastructure, directly on site. For this purpose, quantum processors based on diamond substrates with so-called nitrogen vacancy centers, also known as nitrogen vacancy centers, are used. In order to obtain the necessary qubits, "impurities" in the form of nitrogen atoms are implemented in stable crystal lattices of carbon atoms.
"The founding of QuantumBW shows that quantum computing is perceived and promoted at the highest level as a technological and economic locational advantage," says Dr. Mark Mattingley-Scott, Head of Europe and Chief Revenue Officer of Quantum Brilliance. "Our goal at Quantum Brilliance is to make quantum technology usable in everyday life. This works best when competencies from different areas are bundled, which is why we are looking forward to an even closer cooperation with the partners in the network."
Dr. Florian Preis, Head of Software and Applications at Quantum Brilliance, also sees the founding as an important impulse: "QuantumBW is a right and consistent step for the establishment of Baden-Württemberg as a leading location for quantum technology and in particular for quantum computers based on diamond. Collaboration between research institutions and companies is an essential prerequisite for getting quantum computers out of laboratories and high-performance computing centers and making their performance usable in the form of hybrid computer systems in a targeted manner for practice-oriented scenarios in a wide range of industries."
