External Events: Conference & Exhibition

Germany just launched one of Europe’s biggest Quantum Computing Software projects! Building on top of the Innovation Concept QC Next this follow-up project aims at defining and implementing the software reference architecture described in the Innovation Concept. Join us for a full day on quantum computing software development on April 28th in Berlin! 

The event will feature talks from software developers, software pitches, and demos as well as a poster session. An agenda will follow soon.

The most important content at a glance:

• Quantum Computing
• Software Stack
• Quantum Ecosystem
• Exchange Forum

We invite everyone to participate either with a software pitch or a poster to be presented at the workshop.

The event is aimed at

Representatives of the European quantum ecosystem, quantum software developers.

MII 8 on May 7, 2026, will place a strong focus on demonstrations and applications. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., three sessions will provide in-depth insights into our fields of innovation—shipping, ports, maritime autonomous systems, and port technologies—with keynote speeches and demonstrations in our laboratories. You will have the opportunity to engage in intensive technical discussions with our employees and with each other.

Under the title “Maritime Systems in Transition – Intelligent, Networked, Resilient,” we will present new developments for greater safety and resilience of maritime (critical) infrastructures in lectures and demonstrations, take a look at the navigation of the future, and highlight opportunities for the use of autonomous and mobile robotics in ports and terminals. Our speakers are experts and users from the maritime industry as well as researchers from Fraunhofer CML.

The simulation of quantum physical systems promises to be among the first fields to demonstrate a superiority of quantum computing over classical methods. Achieving this milestone with potential disruptive impact on several industry branches requires a joint effort to develop both: efficient, practical quantum algorithms and fault-tolerant, error-corrected quantum computers.

This symposium brings together leading researchers and experts from academia and industry to explore recent advances and challenges in the development of fault-tolerant quantum systems and quantum algorithms for material science and quantum chemistry. The event is organized by Fraunhofer IAO (flaQship) as part of the activities in the Competence Center Quantum Computing Baden-Württemberg (KQCBW) together with the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS), and the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences (HHN).

Call for Contributions:

We invite contributions, both for talks and posters, showcasing your recent work and findings in fault-tolerant quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, as well as applied quantum computing for material science and/or quantum chemistry. Areas of interest include:

• Quantum computing for quantum chemistry
• Quantum computing for material science
• Quantum error correction and fault-tolerance
• Quantum algorithms for scientific computing
