Baden-Württemberg Boosts Quantum Computing with €8.5M Investment
Baden-Württemberg's Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism is investing around 8.5 million euros to continue and develop the Baden-Württemberg Quantum Computing Competence Center (KQCBW). The project, led by the Fraunhofer Society, involves 13 research institutions and 12 industrial partners working together on software and hardware solutions for quantum computing.
The KQCBW25 consortium project aims to develop algorithms for quantum chemistry and materials science, benchmark hardware platforms, and establish a 'KQCBW Quantum Cloud' as a service-oriented platform. The project is part of the QuantumBW initiative, focusing on knowledge transfer and qualification through training and further education offers. The competence center will present its results at the international Quantum Effects 2025 trade fair in Stuttgart.
The Ministerial Council decided on 7 May 2024 to implement measures to further develop the KQCBW in stages, with a total volume of up to 20 million euros from 2024 to 2028. Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut, Minister of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism, emphasized the strategic importance of quantum computing for Baden-Württemberg's scientific and economic competencies. The project aims to strengthen Baden-Württemberg's innovative power in the high-potential field of quantum technologies and connect research and business in the state.
The Baden-Württemberg Quantum Computing Competence Center is set to receive significant funding and support from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Tourism. This investment aims to bolster the state's innovative power in quantum technologies and foster collaboration between research and business. The project's success is expected to have a positive impact on Baden-Württemberg's scientific and economic competencies.
