New addition to the Quantum^BW network: Karlsruhe Univer­sity of Applied Sciences

Quantum technolo­gies will, once they are opera­tional, funda­men­tally change many areas of our lives, proba­bly even more so than AI: quantum comput­ing offers previ­ously unimag­in­able comput­ing power, quantum commu­ni­ca­tion allows for completely secure message exchange, and quantum sensors will make it possi­ble to detect the small­est changes in physi­cal quanti­ties. Even though funda­men­tal research topics still need to be clari­fied, commer­cial appli­ca­tions are already foresee­able in some areas. And as great as the poten­tial of quantum technolo­gies is, it is just as impor­tant to quickly trans­fer them into appli­ca­tions.

The Karlsruhe Univer­sity of Applied Sciences (HKA) is an estab­lished name in the field of applied sciences in Baden-Württemberg and repre­sents an impor­tant addition to the Quantum^BW network. The promo­tion of young talent is a key pillar of the quantum strat­egy of the state of Baden-Württemberg. With its engineer­ing and computer science facul­ties and its strength in applied research in the STEM fields, the Karlsruhe Univer­sity of Applied Sciences is in the perfect position to develop and make acces­si­ble the appli­ca­tions of quantum technolo­gies for its natural partners, small, medium-sized and large compa­nies in the regional economy.

By joining Quantum^BW, the HKA aims to network with the other players in Baden-Württemberg and contribute to making our state a leading location in Germany and Europe in this impor­tant future technology.
