Quantum software company HQS Quantum Simulations has been commissioned by BASF to develop use cases of chemistry and materials simulation on quantum computers for the emerging QuCUN platform. QuCUN is a joint project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, for which the QAR-Lab of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Aqarios, SAP, and BASF have joined forces in a consortium. The project aims to provide an online platform that serves as an ecosystem for developers and users of quantum computing.

We are proud to have been awarded the “Employer of the Future” title by the German Innovation Institute for Sustainability and Digitalization. In a multi-stage test procedure, companies are evaluated regarding their innovative strength, the state of digitalization, modern working conditions, and leadership strategies. As a result, HQS has convinced the institute.

HQS Quantum Simulations, a leading provider of software solutions for quantum computing, will be exhibiting at ISC High Performance 2023, the trade show for HPC technology providers and users. The show will take place May 21-25 in Hamburg, Germany, and attracts HPC industry professionals from around the world. HQS will present innovative software applications for the simulation of quantum mechanical systems on high-performance computers at booth #815.

One way to exploit the potential of quantum computing in industry is to integrate a quantum computing system into a production-ready HPC environment. To explore this potential, the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) is using the Software of HQS Quantum Simulations. As part of the BMBF-funded project “Quantum Computing demonstration for ExaScale-HPC”, Q-Exa, HQS Quantum Simulations provided LRZ, an institute of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BAdW), with the software application HQSNoiseApp. In an exclusive workshop with users of the HQSNoiseApp, entry hurdles will be overcome, and initial results discussed.

Baden-Württemberg has presented a quantum strategy and, with the QuantumBW innovation initiative, will bundle knowledge with partners from industry and research and jointly advance the key technology of the future. HQS is also part of the QuantumBW network.

As previously announced, HQS has moved from the Technologiefabrik to the iWerkx innovation center. Our new address is from now on:
HQS Quantum Simulations GmbH
Rintheimer Straße 23
76131 Karlsruhe

As 2022 comes to an end, we look back on some important events and achievements. We achieved some important milestones for our research and were able to share our results on many occasions. We were part of exciting events around innovative topics and discoveries in quantum technology. We welcomed many new members to the team. And innovative research projects accompanied us throughout the year.

Realizing the power of quantum: Quantum technology will enable us to understand and improve our world through novel research methods. The simulation of particles, processes, and mechanisms at the quantum level can revolutionize materials science and may lead to breakthrough developments. The competencies of a wide variety of groups are pooled in various research projects to advance the entire field of research.

In the immediate vicinity of the current location of HQS Quantum Simulation in the Technologiefabrik Karlsruhe, the iWerkx innovation center is being built on the Hoepfner Areal. HQS will also move into office space in the state-of-the-art building complex in the new year.

Q2B, the premier conference for practical quantum computing, is bringing the quantum community together for the sixth year in a row. This year, the Silicon Valley edition is taking place in person at the Santa Clara Convention Center on December 6-8, 2022.
Dr. Michael Marthaler, HQS CEO and Co-Founder will give a presentation on Applications of quantum computing in spectroscopy on the 8 Dec, Hall A, 1:40 pm-2:00 pm.

HQS is committed to developing alternatives to variational algorithms. We want to share our progress with others and generate a whole new research direction on using quantum computers to simulate open quantum systems. To that end, we have published two papers that we hope will drive the whole field forward.

HQS invites you to attend on the online lecture “Quantum Computing: a future perspective for high energy physics” from Dr. Karl Jansen of Deutsches Elektronen-Synchroton DESY via Zoom on Friday, 18th November ‘22, at 1:00 pm: https://zoom.us/j/97712665926.

HQS Quantum Simulations will exhibit at the Supercomputing Conference 2022 between 14 and 17 November in Dallas, Texas, USA. The international Conference is the world’s largest marketplace for High Performance Computing (HPC).

For the past three years, startup HQS Quantum Simulations has been collaborating with science and technology company Merck. Together, the companies are exploring what are the most relevant quantum mechanical effects that can be value-added for a chemical company and that can be understood with NISQ computers.

A new collaboration between HQS Quantum Simulations GmbH and RMIT University’s Jared Cole aims to use quantum computers to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells.
Together, HQS and the RMIT team are aiming to bridge the gap from material development for improved organic solar cells to the quantum mechanical solution of the resonant transfer model.
