From September 1 to October 31, 2026, QUICS (quantum innovation & computing for SMEs) is inviting companies to submit industrial problems for exploration on current quantum hardware. No in-house quantum expertise or hardware investment is required. In particular, use cases in the field of machine learning, optimization, and simulation of chemistry systems or materials are suitable.

Applicants should fill in a short form, which contains a short description of the problem, its business relevance, and the current solution ansatz. Selected submissions will be developed by the QUICS team from

A new compute island for the Emmy supercomputer is currently being set up in the GWDG’s Modular Data Centre (MDC). This involves the use of state-of-the-art technology which, in addition to significantly increased computing power, enables, in particular, improved energy efficiency.

The new compute island is funded by the National High-Performance Computing (NHR) programme and helps to further expand computing capacity to meet the growing demands of scientific research. This will provide researchers with a powerful tool for complex calculations and data-intensive applications in future.
