Briefings

Kai Voges established a research group at Leibniz University Hannover to lead the HybriQCS project, a €5.8 million five-year initiative combining molecules and Rydberg atoms for quantum computing. The project aims to achieve the first quantum gate operations using these hybrid systems within five years, leveraging molecules for long coherence times and Rydberg atoms for fast information transmission. The research group operates within Quantum Valley Lower Saxony and builds on the QuantumFrontiers Cluster of Excellence, with potential spin-offs and collaborations planned. Funding was secured via the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space's Quantum Futur programme, with the project starting on March 1, 2026 and concluding on February 28, 2031.

Key points

• Kai Voges established a research group at Leibniz University Hannover to lead the HybriQCS project, a €5.8 million five-year initiative combining molecules and Rydberg atoms for quantum computing.
• The project aims to achieve the first quantum gate operations using these hybrid systems within five years, leveraging molecules for long coherence times and Rydberg atoms for fast information transmission.

Context and limitations

The project's initial gate operations are not yet demonstrated; the timeline for technology maturity and spin-off establishment remains uncertain. Specific collaboration partners and the exact nature of the dual-clock clock transition technology are not fully detailed in the available evidence.
