How “Quantum-Ready” Are German Companies?

Not only high-tech giants like Google and IBM, but also small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can already benefit of quantum computing. And it is also important for them to keep pace with this future technology. In a recent study, Dr Daniel Zeuch examined how "quantum-ready" German companies are and how to support market entry strategies.

Shaping Change

Structural Change

Forschungszentrum Jülich

Shaping change: This is what drives us at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association with more than 7,000 employees, we conduct research into the possibilities of a digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a resource-efficient economy. We combine natural, life and engineering sciences in the fields of information, energy, and the bioeconomy with specialist expertise in high-performance computing and we also use unique scientific infrastructure.

Shaping Change - with this mission, more than 7,000 people work hand in hand at Forschungszentrum Jülich. Find out what else we stand for

Our 3 main areas of research

a

Energy

The scientific objective of energy research is an energy system based on renewable energy which will help make the transformation of the German energy sector a success as well as limiting climate change.

a

Information

Scientists in the research area of information investigate how information is processed in biological and technical systems. The focus here is on brain research, basic research for future information technologies, and supercomputing.

a

Bioeconomy

As the global population increases, agricultural land recedes, and fossil fuel resources are on the decline, there is a need to transition from an oil-based economy to one based on the sustainable use of renewable resources. It is in this respect that the bioeconomy can make some key contributions.
