From academic toolkit to globally used quantum software: PennyLane and Catalyst integrate the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT)
An example of successful transfer work in the MQV ecosystem – and of how software from Munich is having a global impact.
First European quantum computer for Germany: Euro-Q-Exa begins operation at Leibniz Supercomputing Centre
Today, Euro-Q-Exa, the first European quantum computer of the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking in Germany, went into operation at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ). The system has 54 qubits and is to be supplemented by an additional system with more than 150 qubits by the end of 2026. Connected to the LRZ's supercomputer, Euro-Q-Exa is now available to researchers in Europe and is intended to advance technical independence in quantum computing.
Developed 10 years ago, in use today: Software for quantum computers receives award
Quantum computers are increasingly becoming a reality. However, special software is required to ensure that they can be used smoothly. The basis of such software, developed 10 years ago, has now been honoured with a ‘10-year Retrospective Most Influential Paper Award’.
Symposium "Towards applications of quantum computing": networking science and industry
On 11 and 12 November, the symposium "Towards applications of quantum computing" took place. The event was organized by Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) together with the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS, supported by Bayern Innovativ and QUTAC. The symposium brought together representatives from industry and science working on quantum computing applications with hardware and software developers.
Munich Quantum Software Forum 2024
On 24 and 25 October 2024, the Munich Quantum Software Forum took place for the second time. Organized by the Chair of Design Automation at the Technical University of Munich, the event brings together the "who's who" of quantum computing software. Once again, the extremely high attendance shows the great interest of the community.
