QC Next Workshop
As part of the workshop, the first results of the BMWK-funded project Innovation Concept Quantum Computing Software Stack will be presented and discussed with the participants. The aim is to develop a uniform quantum computing software stack framework, taking into account the seamless integration of the various layers, e.g. through interface solutions and standardization.
Quantum computing is a young but rapidly growing field of research and development with high expected significance for knowledge generation and application capability. The integration of this complex technology into companies requires longer lead times compared to conventional computer technologies. A key challenge is to transfer the existing knowledge about the various layers of the quantum computing software stack into a consistent, communicable framework. This requires prioritizing interfaces and developing quasi-standards. The software stack encompasses all components from hardware to application and ranges from research to industry.
In the QC Next Workshop, participants not only have the opportunity to exchange ideas with experts from industry, but also to help shape the future quantum computing software stack framework. In doing so, they make an important contribution to standardization. There is also the chance of (funded) participation in the lead project.
Project consortium and methodology
The project consortium consisting of Fraunhofer IAO, Kipu Quantum and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is developing a tableau of research and development questions based on state-of-the-art analyses and future visions, which addresses the priority research needs for the realization of the innovation concept. This involves a multi-stage approach comprising the following steps:
- Mapping and inventory: analysis of the existing conceptual and technical infrastructure.
- Vision development: Development of a vision for the future quantum computer software stack.
- Community involvement: Broad involvement of the community in the emerging uantum ecosystem to ensure technical robustness and acceptance.
Expected results and networking
The exchange with representatives from science and industry should contribute to the development of a widely accepted quantum computer software stack. In addition, the workshop will serve to identify potential partners for a lead project on the same topic, which is due to start in mid-2025.
