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.

Recently, a team at the Technical University Darmstadt in Germany has demonstrated for the first time a magnetometer based on a two-dimensional array of ultracold atoms with superior spatial resolution compared to classical devices. In this study, scientists trapped rubidium atoms in a square array with a width of 0.2 millimeters. They found that when this system is exposed to a magnetic field, it can detect spatial variations in the magnetic field, as each atom of the array acts as a separate sensor.
