Research

Which hardware will carry the universal quantum computer is still open. Munich Quantum Valley therefore develops three of the most promising platforms side by side – and every layer above them.

From qubits and control electronics to system software, algorithms and applications, multidisciplinary teams work on the full stack of a quantum computer. In the medium term, the goal is systems with up to 1,000 qubits integrated into Bavaria’s high-performance computing infrastructure and available via the cloud; in the long term, fault-tolerant quantum computers.

  • Research Areas

    Like any computer, a quantum computer has layers: hardware, firmware, software and applications.

  • Organisation and Projects

    Our research is organised in nine consortia.

  • Research Groups

    Munich Quantum Valley unites an unusually large number of research groups from all fields of quantum science and technology – at universities, Max Planck and Fraunhofer institutes, DLR and the Bavarian Academy of Sciences.

  • Lighthouse Projects

    Lighthouse projects pool the strengths of several partners around one ambitious goal and make our progress visible far beyond Bavaria.

  • Collaborate with MQV

    Munich Quantum Valley is built on collaboration.
