Building and using quantum computers
JUQCA is currently comprised of seven institute divisions whose work concerns the theory, development, and application of quantum computers. The focus is on making quantum computers operational quickly.
The alliance cooperates closely with other institute divisions that are involved in basic research on materials and quantum phenomena, for example, as well as in the development of components. This ensures that JUQCA members benefit from basic research and, on the other hand, that basic research is inspired by the system and application requirements identified within JUQCA.
Objectives

JUQCA's primary objective is to develop scalable quantum computers that utilise both superconducting and semiconductor qubits. These quantum computers are intended to advance scientific applications and be used in industry.
At its core, JUQCA is about developing a common strategy. Close networking between JUQCA's various institutes helps to coordinate projects more effectively and raise the profile of Jülich's expertise, both nationally and internationally.
To further strengthen the enormous potential of quantum technologies in research and industry, all relevant Jülich stakeholders are also involved in the Helmholtz Quantum Platform.
