Short Description

ML4Q is a consortium of scientists with backgrounds in the key disciplines of quantum computation: condensed matter physics, quantum optics, quantum devices, and quantum information. We aim to push the frontiers of the field by developing novel forms of quantum hard- and software: from fundamental research on quantum matter over quantum information devices to operation protocols and software. Our research focus is on pioneering technologies that are at an early development stage today, but may become game changers tomorrow. ML4Q is the project synergizing the Rhineland to a hub in quantum computing research. A key part of our mission is the training of the next generation of researchers that will pull quantum computation past the application threshold.
