DanQ Applied Quantum Computing Denmark
| DanQ is the first large-scale Danish effort aimed at building an integrated quantum computing eco-system pursuing commercially and societally relevant applications within the Danish green energy and health care sectors. To facilitate this goal, the eco-system needs access to state-of-the-art quantum computing hardware on Danish soil. Hence, in QEH we will develop the largest quantum computing hardware platform in existence in Denmark, with 25 quantum bits. This effort will be a key catalyst for quantum software and use-case development for the benefit of start-ups and SMEs targeting quantum technology and its implementation in industrial and societal contexts. QEH will demonstrate this via use-cases from two paradigmatic sectors of Danish welfare: Green energy transition and future high-tech health care. QEH is uniquely suited to address this ambitious goal and the successful outcome will serve the dual purposes of creating the first commercial-oriented quantum computing platform in Denmark and provide a crucial missing ingredient in Danish opportunities for quantum workforce and commercial development. QEH consist of two SMEs, QDevil specialized in quantum hardware and a fast-growing quantum software start-up Kvantify, top academic quantum physicists (at University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University), the largest Danish green-tech enterprise (Ørsted) and a Danish public hospital pursuing future med-tech solutions (Herlev-Gentofte-Hospital), see Figure 1. |
