Quantum computer R & D consortium is established in Munich

On January 27 in Munich, Bayern, southern Germany, the quantum computer research and development consortium "Munich Quantum Valley) was launched (the same consortium press release)., Routebihi Maximilian University, Munich (LMU), Alexander, Friedrich Alexander, Airangen Nurunberg (FAU), Bayern Bachelor's Academy (BADW), German Aerospace Center (DLR), Frown Hoofer Research Organization (FHG), Max Plank Association (MpG)), Etc., the consortium was the high -tech strategy "High -Tech Agenda Plus" (see Article on September 24, 2020), which was launched by the Bavarian government in September 2020 as one of the economic measures for the "new colona evil".It was established based on.

To date, more than 40 universities, research institutions, and companies have already gathered in MQV, and more than 200 researchers are currently participating in eight research projects to build and operate Germany's first domestic quantum computers.are doing.In addition, new businesses are also underway to gather experts in MQV from various parts of Bavaria and deepen quantum science research.

The Foobert Ibanger economy, development and energy in Bayern, who attended the signature ceremony on the same day, said, "MQV is an unparalleled science and business network that connects the industry, universities, and researchers. New drug research and logistics.In improvement of issues and material development, quantum computers will play an important role. "

MQV has three pillars of research, development, and education, and by 2027 by 2027, we aim to open the "QuantRum Für Quantencomputing Und QuantentechNologien" and "ZQQ" and "Quantehn Technology Park).The establishment is also planned.ZQQ, which is the site of R & D, will also support funding to the research project.At the quantum technology park, in anticipation of industry -academia collaboration, an environment such as joint lab facilities is developed as a place for companies, including startups and research institutions to collaborate.In addition, MQV will be actively working on education, and will have courses for entrepreneurs and professionals to learn about intellectual property and company management, as well as quantum technology.

In June 2021, the IBM quantum computer "IBM Q System One" was operating as the first quantum computer in Germany (see the article on June 22, 2021).
