Dr Nicolas Vogt Appointed Chief Innovation Officer at HQS

HQS Quantum Simulations is pleased to announce that its management team has grown. Dr Nicolas Vogt, previously Head of Quantum Computing, has been appointed Chief Innovation Officer.
In his new role, Dr Vogt will focus on exploring new application areas and developing prototypes that will later be integrated into the HQSpectrum product line. The position is designed to sit at the intersection of cutting edge research and product development, ensuring that novel concepts in spectroscopy and quantum technologies are translated quickly into solutions for customers.

A key part of this work will be to broaden the scope of HQS’ spectroscopic capabilities. Dr Vogt and his team will work on both NMR protocols beyond standard one-dimensional frequency-domain NMR as well as additional spectroscopy techniques such as time domain NMR (relaxometry), ESR as well as UV/Vis and IR spectroscopy. At the same time, HQS will expand its activities around the spectroscopic analysis of mixtures, with a strong emphasis on NMR based methods for complex and realistic samples.

In parallel with this appointment, HQS has adjusted its internal structure and re-shaped its teams. The new setup brings together expertise in spectroscopy, quantum chemistry, software engineering and quantum technologies in a more integrated way. The goal is to accelerate innovation and strengthen HQS’ focus on developing and researching spectroscopy driven solutions.

“By establishing our new innovation outreach department, we are doubling down on our strategy to build the next generation of spectroscopy software in close exchange with our customers,” says Dr Nicolas Vogt, Chief Innovation Officer at HQS Quantum Simulations. “Our ambition is to explore new techniques, validate them through prototypes and then bring them into HQSpectrum so that our customers can benefit from them in their day to day work. We have a great team in the innovation outreach department, and I am looking forward to working with them on our future software features.”

With these changes, HQS Quantum Simulations underlines its commitment to delivering powerful, scientifically robust tools for spectroscopy, from NMR to a broader range of methods, and to helping customers solve increasingly complex analytical challenges.
