Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich are driving forward quantum computing to bridge the gap between fundamental research and practical application. The aim is to accelerate Innovation and strengthen digital sovereignty in Germany and Europe.
Many real-world challenges exceed the capabilities of classical computers. Quantum computing opens up new approaches to solving complex problems, for example in the fields of materials and chemistry, Energy or Transport.
At Forschungszentrum Jülich, various areas of expertise are being brought together for this purpose. Materials and quantum research are being linked with high-performance computing and concrete applications. This results in systems comprising hardware, software and algorithms, which are being further developed jointly.
A key component is the “Jülich UNified Infrastructure for Quantum computing” (JUNIQ). As the world’s first quantum computing infrastructure, it offers users access to a wide range of quantum systems at various stages of development.
This creates an integrated approach combining development, integration and application, with early access for industry, start-ups and research. The aim is to build a strong European quantum ecosystem and secure long-term technological leadership.
