Activities range from research into different quantum materials and nanostructures to testing different qubit concepts, building prototypes and operating them. By organising the laboratories into technology clusters, a natural environment is created for interdisciplinary scientific exchange and collaboration. A complex technology such as quantum computing requires close collaboration between a wide range of disciplines. Therefore, HQC will also offer opportunities for visiting scientists and guests.

Materials Lab: The design and production of new materials is one of the core activities at HQC. State-of-the-art equipment for the production of thin films from semiconductor materials has been procured and is already in use.

Precision Lab: In this technology cluster, high-precision equipment for investigating quantum effects at ultra-cold temperatures in a vibration-free environment is developed and operated.

Optics Lab: This technology cluster focuses on the interaction and control of quantum chips by means of optical phenomena, as well as the investigation of fundamental quantum dynamics.

Cryo Lab: The activities focus on the development and operation of superconducting and semiconductor-based quantum chips.

Electronics Lab: Chips for controlling quantum circuits are developed and benchmarked in this cluster.

The experimental work is complemented by theory and simulations.
