What a party! Even though 2024 is only (almost) half over, we already have plenty of reasons to celebrate. So we turned our rooftop into a party location and celebrated with friends. 👯 🕺 🥂     We celebrated that ...     🎉... we trapped ions very fast at the new eleQtron GmbH site in Hamburg.     🎉 ... the EPIQ project was launched: together with the Jülich Supercomputing Center (JSC) of the Forschungszentrum Jülich, we are building a unique modular supercomputer consisting of a quantum module and a classical digital module – a quantum supercomputer made in NRW. It is the result of the network EIN Quantum NRW and is funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of North Rhine-Westphalia with around 21 million euros.      🎉... we presented, together with NXP Semiconductors and ParityQC, in Hamburg the first demonstrator of an ion trap quantum computer developed entirely in Germany.      🎉... our team has grown to over 50 wonderful people from 18 nations.     That brings us to the real reason why we celebrated with friends. eleQtron friends was meant literally: our colleagues brought friends and family to our summer party on the rooftop – the perfect opportunity to meet new people. For our international team such an opportunity is especially important to feel at home. Thank you Jan Henrik Leisse for this great idea. #oneteam    #deeptech #startup #quantumcomputing #ZukunftofQuantum

It's always nice to look back on good moments – and even more so on milestones! Just over two weeks ago, we and our partners NXP Semiconductors and ParityQC presented the first demonstrator of an ion-trap quantum computer developed entirely in Germany.    Believe us, we put a lot of knowledge, nerves, brainpower, team spirit, enthusiasm and passion into it. So, we are even more pleased that the QSea I is now up and running.    The QSea I device was commissioned by the DLR Quantencomputing-Initiative and will be made available to companies and research teams for future applications such as climate modeling, global logistics and materials development. It incorporates our #MAGIC hardware, the ParityQC architecture and NXP's chip design, which will be combined into a modular and scalable quantum computer in QSea II.    Special thanks to all involved in the project: Lars Reger, Christof Wunderlich, Jan Henrik Leisse, Dr. Robert Axmann, Michael Johanning, Christian Piltz, Leonard Püttjer, Till Witt, Sonja Baums, Dr. Svend Buhl, Christian Wiebus, Jens Heemeier, Jana Gotsmann, Magdalena Hauser, Wolfgang Lechner, Anton Flir, Christian Ertler, Stefan Rombouts, Adu Offei-Danso PhD., Federico Dominguez, Florian Ginzel, Matthias Traube, Simanraj Sadana, Katharina Ludwig, Javad Kazemi, Valentin Torggler, Christophe Goeller, @Enrique N., Reinhard Stahn, Rishik Mani, @Stefan Schmid, Erika Bettega.    #deeptech #quantumcomputing #technology #innovation #future #DLRQCI #Hamburg #eleQtron #NXP #ParityQC #QSeaI

We're excited to share highlights from a panel discussion at the Annual Forum for Quantum Computing (AFQC) 2024, where our CSO Christof Wunderlich joined leading experts to explore the potential and challenges of scaling up trapped-ion quantum computers.    Here are the key discussion points:    ➡ Realizing ion-trap quantum computers: Christof highlighted a decisive advantage of ion-trap technology, noting that there is no need to manufacture qubits. "Nature gives us perfectly identical qubits," he explained, emphasizing the inherent precision and scalability advantages over other qubit platforms.      ➡ eleQtron’s special approach: Our method uses microwave-controlled trapped ions, pioneering research and development was initiated in Hamburg and carried out in Siegen. This technique mirrors the cutting-edge research, setting a robust foundation for advancements in quantum computing.    ➡ Milestones and comparisons: Looking at recent achievements by IBM and startups like QuEra, Christof acknowledged the impressive progress with superconducting qubits and neutral atoms. IBM has recently revised its roadmap, placing more emphasis on the quality of qubits instead of the number of qubits. In order to benchmark the power of a quantum computer it takes many quantitative parameters; the number of qubits alone doesn’t say much.    The panel, hosted by Katharina Menne, also featured insights from Nils Kolja Freier (born Wessling) Freier of Universal Quantum and Stephan Schächer of Infineon Technologies. The discussion underscored the growing consensus that while ion-trap quantum computers hold great promise for scaling, the journey ahead involves navigating complex challenges and embracing diverse technological approaches.    We are excited to be at the forefront of this transformative era in quantum computing, contributing to the development of technologies that will redefine the future.    #AFQC2024 #Quantumcomputing #IonTrap #Innovation #eleQtron  

To be honest: It was a strenuous few months for all of us before we were able to present the first demonstrator of an ion trap #quantumcomputer developed entirely in Germany, together with NXP Semiconductors and ParityQC.  A big step for the quantum computing landscape in Germany – and a milestone for us as a team.      So, it's time to pause and say thank you. We only achieved this as a team. Over 50 curious and motivated people from 18 nations and different scientific disciplines. Your minds make the difference.     #deeptech #startup #quantumcomputing #eleQtron #oneteam #united

Last month eleQtron had the pleasure of hosting the Qompiler project meeting in Siegen – a great opportunity for us to share our latest progress with all project members. ❤️     Fabian Zickgraf from (Universität Siegen) discussed the connection between functional programming languages and category theory, both in a classical setup using finite sets and in a quantum setup using the ZX-calculus.    Our colleague Pau Dietz Romero presented the modular architecture of eleQtron's #MAGIC OS operating system. His presentation focused on its ability to handle the rapidly evolving software stacks and hardware components on the way to larger quantum processors with a higher number of qubits.    Raphael Seidel from (Fraunhofer FOKUS) talked about the key features of the new Qrisp v0.4 release, including the implementation of Shor's algorithm, compiler improvements and a Docker backend integration. And his colleagues Carlotta Koroll and Sebastian Bock showed us the new developments of the hardware compiler for ion traps and focused on their invention on how to efficiently compile Clifford circuits.    Finally, Matteo Antonio Inajetovic from (Technische Universität Berlin) gave a tech talk on application-level benchmarking and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, with a special focus on how compilation affects the quality metrics associated with benchmarking quantum devices with hybrid algorithms.    In addition to a tour of the #eleQtron computer room, a live software demonstration was given with part of the Qompiler software stack running a small Qrisp quantum circuit on the first eleQtron quantum computer prototype in Siegen called RUBY.    We are looking forward to the final part of the project, when the standardization of the quantum software interface will be initiated, and the complete interconnection of all software layers will be demonstrated. 🚀    The  Qompiler project is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz) and supported by DLR Projektträger. Associated partners are Quantum Brilliance, Berlin Partner für Wirtschaft und Technologie GmbH, Porsche Digital, T-Systems International and DIN Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V. #QompilerProject #eleQtron #deeptech #quantumcomputing #technology #innovation #ZukunftofQuantum 

🚀 It's a big step for the quantum computing landscape in Germany: In Hamburg, together with NXP Semiconductors and ParityQC, we presented the first demonstrator of an ion trap quantum computer developed entirely in Germany. The event was attended by the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.    The demonstrator QSea I will give companies and research teams access to real quantum computing resources, allowing them to take advantage of #quantumcomputing for applications such as #climatemodeling, global #logistics and materials science at an early stage.    The demonstrator combines our #MAGIC hardware and ParityQC architecture with NXP's chip design and technology. It is also complemented by a digital twin. This enables rapid innovation, design decisions and implementation as the QSea I demonstrator evolves into a fully operational quantum computer with modular architecture, scalable design and error correction capabilities.     We are working with NXP Semiconductors and ParityQC in the QSea consortium of the DLR Quantencomputing-Initiative (DLR QCI). The aim is to build the necessary expertise by creating a quantum computing ecosystem. In this ecosystem, business, industry and science work closely together to fully exploit the benefits of this pioneering technology.    We are proud to be part of this innovative project, which not only advances the development of quantum computing, but also lays the foundation for a strong, future-proof quantum computing ecosystem in Germany. Special thanks to our colleague Christian Piltz. He manages the eleQtron site in Hamburg and the QSea I project.     #deeptech #quantumcomputing #technology #innovation #future #DLRQCI #Hamburg #eleQtron #NXP #ParityQC #QSeaI
