About planqc
editplanqc is a leading company in the field of quantum computing technology, specializing in the development of quantum computers based on neutral atoms. This innovative technology uses individual atoms as qubits, which are arranged in highly scalable arrays and manipulated with precisely controlled laser pulses. This method allows planqc to quickly scale to thousands of qubits, which is a prerequisite for industrial quantum supremacy.
Key Products and Services
editThe main product of planqc is the quantum computer, which stores information in neutral atoms. This technology is based on the precision of the world's best atomic clocks and quantum gas microscopes, as well as high-speed Rydberg gates. planqc not only provides the hardware but also develops algorithms in a hardware-software co-design to maximize the efficiency and applicability of the quantum computers.
Mission and Values
editThe mission of planqc is to advance the development of quantum computers capable of solving complex problems in various industries such as pharmaceuticals, materials science, and cryptography. The company aims to develop quantum computers "Made in Germany," thereby strengthening Germany's technological leadership in the global quantum race.
