Yesterday, NXP Semiconductors together with two quantum start-ups, Electron and ParityQC, revealed the first full-stack, ion-trap-based quantum computer demonstrator made entirely in Germany, based on the collaboration results of the QSea project under the DLR Quantum Computing Initiative,. It is reported that the machine, which boasts 10 qubits, combines eleQtron’s MAGIC quantum chip, ParityQC architecture and NXP’s chip design and technology.

The Quantum Computing Initiative (QCI) of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) recently announced that its QCoKaIn application project has signed a research and development contract with Airbus Defence & Space. Airbus will work with the research team of the DLR Institute of Data Science to develop a hybrid quantum machine learning algorithms capable of automatically detecting anomalies in telemetry data.

The German Aerospace Center's Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI) announced yesterday that its BASIQ project, aimed at simulating battery materials using quantum computers, has welcomed two new partners. The bidding consortium of the consulting company D-fine and the quantum computer manufacturer Planqc will provide quantum algorithms and software solutions for solving partial differential equations in the field of lithium-ion batteries.
