Quantum Computing
Quantum computing leverages the principles of quantum mechanics to go beyond the capabilities of classical computers. While classical computers utilize bits as units of information, which can be either 0 or 1, quantum computers employ quantum bits, or qubits, which can exist in a superposition of both 0 and 1 simultaneously. This property of superposition enables quantum computers to perform parallel computations and solve complex problems.
Quantum computing presents a powerful tool for solving optimization problems in fields such as logistics, time scheduling, and neuromorphic calculations. It furthermore offers new insights into complex phenomena in chemical, biological and physical systems such as the precise determination of ground-state energies, energy spectra, time dynamics, and correlations.
The development of scalable architectures for quantum computing faces inherent challenges to implement reliable and fault-tolerant quantum computing devices. ZQE focuses on quantum hybrid systems, aiming to connect the advantages of different quantum platforms for scaling and integration.
