Forschungszentrum Jülich – Institute for Functional Quantum Systems – PGI-13

The mission of the Institute for Functional Quantum Systems (PGI-13) is to lay the technological and scientific foundations to enable useful quantum computing. At our labs in Aachen and Jülich we work with superconducting qubits, which operate at near-zero temperatures and are controlled by high-speed signals. We focus on developing the quantum devices and architecture, their coherence and materials, as well as quantum gates and algorithm implementations. A key requirement is to maintain high fidelity quantum operations as we scale up. Tackling these exciting challenges lies at the intersection of scientific exploration and engineering.

Role within QSolid

PGI-13 is designing, constructing, and operating the mission-critical milestone quantum devices. These systems act as a base for integrating novel materials, hardware solutions, software approaches, and the algorithm implementations developed throughout the consortium.
