We focus on integrating quantum communication, computation, and sensing technologies into 6G networks, analysing their potential quantum advantage for achieving 6G performance goals. Our solutions aim to improve resilience, trustworthiness, and scalability while reducing latency.
Q-TREX, QD-CAMNETZ, and QUIET
One of our central projects is the development of a 5G campus network, which is being expanded to include quantum technology. This gives companies the opportunity to try out innovative applications in a real test environment.
Q-TREX Resilience for the Quantum Internet
QD-CAMNETZ
QUIET—Distribiuted quantum-IoT metrology network
As we are aiming to design a training program that fits exactly your need for knowledge on quantum topics, we are currently surveying precisely this need in a short survey.

abstract = {We report a proof-of-principle implementation of the quantum approximate
optimization algorithm (QAOA) for the smallest nontrivial MAX-CUT instance
on an NV-center-based quantum processor operating at room temperature. The
two-qubit register is encoded in the electron spin and the
(^14mathrmN) nuclear spin of a single NV(^-) center. Using a
minimization formulation of MAX-CUT, we implement a single-layer QAOA
ansatz with native entangling and single-qubit control operations. Because
the optical readout of the NV(^-) center is not projective in the
computational basis, we reconstruct computational-basis populations from
averaged fluorescence signals and use them to determine the experimental
QAOA cost landscape by scanning the variational parameters. These results
show that the core elements of QAOA can be realized on this platform and
establish a baseline for future improvements in phase tracking,
coherence-preserving control, and scaling to larger problem sizes.},
