Leipzig/Hanover, April 21, 2026 -- SaxonQ is presenting the third generation of its mobile quantum computers. At Hannover Messe this week, the company unveiled the QC2026 DUAL CORE – a quantum computer featuring two quantum processors running in parallel with 5 qubits per processor core. The qubits are generated using NV technology in diamond chips, enabling stable operation at room temperature, without cooling, and powered by any standard wall outlet. With this new generation, SaxonQ has delivered a significant boost in speed and performance for its mobile system.

Mobile Quantum Computers for Industry

The race to build the first industry-ready quantum computer is in full swing. Startups and global technology corporations are working at full speed to bring quantum computers out of the lab and into the real world. The biggest hurdles: qubit stability – the computing units of the quantum computer – and operation in industrial environments outside controlled laboratory conditions.

SaxonQ addresses these challenges with Qubits in Diamond. A chip just two millimeters in size is the heart of the so-called NV technology — a method currently used by only a handful of companies, but one that offers decisive advantages: Exceptional stability and room-temperature operation. While most quantum computers require complex cooling to near absolute zero and room-filling laboratory setups, the compact SaxonQ quantum computer runs on any standard wall outlet.

Dual-Core Technology Demonstrates Scaling Potential

With dual-core technology, SaxonQ takes a decisive step forward: two processor cores compute jointly within a single system, can be controlled independently, and are capable of executing parallel operations. This demonstrates that SaxonQ’s quantum processors can potentially be scaled to multi-core systems with any number of cores. A new readout technology has also significantly increased the speed of the quantum computer.

Co-founder and CEO Prof. Marius Grundmann: “In the race to build the first broadly usable industrial quantum computer, scalability is the decisive factor. Our qubits in diamond have been running stably in any environment for years. With this new generation, we have not only significantly increased computing power, but also meaningfully improved qubit accuracy and the overall system stability. Quantum computing is arriving in the real world – and with us, also via the cloud.”

CEO Dr. Frank Schlichting: “The fact alone that we are presenting the third generation of quantum computers in the company’s fifth year of existence is an enormous achievement by our team. We are not talking about theory or devices that only work in a perfect laboratory environment. We are demonstrating that this technology will soon deliver a decisive advantage in energy supply, medical research, artificial intelligence, and many other industries. With the dual-core system, the path to a quantum computer on a chip – and with it, broad industrial application – has become a whole lot shorter.”
