"In Germany, a council of experts from research and industry has come together to do just that..."

Quantum technologies and quantum computing have tremendous potential for science, business, and society. In Germany, a panel of experts from the worlds of research and industry joined forces to successfully submit a sound quantum computing roadmap to the Federal Government after more than three months of intensive cooperation. The head of the QAR-Lab, Prof. Dr. Claudia Linnhoff-Popien, played a central role in the panel of experts in the areas of QC software and applications. 

The roadmap can be downloaded here.

"We strengthen the Munich hub"

With the QAR-Lab Bayern, we are launching a new initiative on December 1, 2020, to build a Bavarian ecosystem for quantum computing user competence. Our goal: To secure the location of Munich on the German quantum computing map. We will back pilot projects for new technologies in the field of QC, and we stand for constant and active exchanges between science and business. The QAR-Lab Bayern project is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development, and Energy (StMWi). The entire QAR-Lab team is looking forward to welcoming five new colleagues and exciting new challenges!

From the online magazine "The Quantum Daily"

The Quantum Daily, an online magazine, reports: These are the world’s top 12 quantum computing research universities. In addition to Oxford, Harvard, and MIT, there is also LMU Munich and, more precisely, the QAR-Lab under the direction of Prof. Dr. Claudia Linnhoff-Popien. We are very pleased with this international recognition and will continue to drive cutting-edge research and practical applications in the field of quantum computing.

"Quantum technologies are future technologies"

“Quantum technologies are future technologies with great opportunities and growing application markets,” write the Bavarian State Ministers Hubert Aiwanger, Bernd Sibler, and Judith Gerlach. Prof. Dr. Claudia Linnhoff-Popien, Head of the QAR-Lab, was asked to participate along with other experts from Bavaria to coordinate the activities within the framework of QuantenTech Vision Bayern. This group aims to promote the healthy “future development of this key technology in Bavaria, a great hub for innovation.”

Prof. Dr. Claudia Linnhoff-Popien was appointed to the panel of experts charged with drawing up a national roadmap for quantum computing. This panel was established by decision of Chancellor Angela Merkel and supported by the State Secretaries of the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The experts met for the first time on October 6, 2020. Virtually, of course.

QAR-Lab supports D-Wave’s platform for joint COVID-19 research

D-Wave Systems – a Canadian provider of quantum computing systems, software, and services – announced the availability of free access to its quantum systems for researchers working to combat the COVID-19 crisis. LMU Munich’s QAR-Lab has joined these efforts alongside other partners, including companies and research institutions such as CINECA, DENSO, Forschungszentrum Jülich, Kyocera Corporation, KYOCERA Communication Systems, MDR/Cliffhanger, Menten AI, NEC Solution Innovators Ltd., OTI Lumionics, Sigma-i, Tohoku University, and Volkswagen. The relevant engineering teams are providing support in the form of their expertise in using the quantum computer, formulating problems, and developing solutions.
Hybrid quantum-classical computing could be well-suited for solving a range of complex problems of this nature. Potential areas of focus for COVID-19 include analyzing new methods of diagnosis, modeling the spread of the virus, optimizing hospital logistics, supply distribution, pharmaceutical combinations, and much more.

PlanQK at the Digital Summit 2019

The PlanQK consortium, including LMU Munich, presented the new PlanQK project (Platform and Ecosystem for Quantum-Assisted Artificial Intelligence) to a broad public for the first time at the Digital Summit in Dortmund on October 28 and 29. In addition to numerous visitors, the German Chancellor was also a guest.


DIGICON 2019

DIGICON 2019

The “Digital World Convention” (DIGICON) took place in Munich from November 20-21, 2019:
368 participants from more than 220 companies, visionary and lively presentations, an exciting race for the 4th Munich Digital Innovation Award and forward-looking ideas at the marketplace for innovations – as every year, the guests of the partner event of the association “Digitale Stadt München e.V” were offered a lot. For the fourth time, the major digitization event was hosted – this time under the sign of the core topic “Artificial Intelligence”. Together with the above-mentioned association and DIGITAL WORLD, LMU established DIGICON to offer companies the opportunity to exchange ideas on digitization topics and learn from each other.
International experts from business and science once again presented the latest trends, developments and results of machine learning to the participants. Decision makers talked about opportunities and risks, analysts about the underlying methods.
