Garching bei München, Germany, 5 May, 2023 (APA/OTS) - The
100-qubit system will be installed at the DLR Innovation Center in
Ulm. - This is the first sale of a digital quantum computer based
on neutral atoms in Europe. - Based in Munich's Quantum Valley,
planqc was founded in 2022 by scientists from the
Max-Planck-Institute of Quantum Optics and the
Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. - Strategic partners Menlo
Systems and ParityQC will provide critical components for the laser
systems, software, and architecture.

planqc has been selected by the German Aerospace Center (DLR)
to develop a digital neutral-atom-based quantum computing hardware
and software platform that is scalable and can demonstrate quantum
algorithms for real-world problems. The award is valued at 29
million EUR. planqc teams up with Menlo Systems and ParityQC who
will provide critical components for the laser systems, software,
and architecture. This is the first sale of a digital quantum
computer based on neutral atoms in Europe. The award comes at a
time of impressive growth for the company and follows the
appointment of Hermann Hauser as board advisor. The start-up planqc
was founded in April 2022 in Garching near Munich (Germany). The
founding team builds on decades of groundbreaking research and
technology development at Munich's Max Planck Institute of Quantum
Optics (MPQ).
"We are very proud that DLR relies on planqc as the technology
leader in the field of neutral atoms to build a quantum computer.
This order is an important milestone in our commercialization and
growth strategy, which envisages expanding into other key
industries and opening up global markets as a next step." Says
Alexander Glätzle, CEO and Co-Founder of planqc.
