Briefings
Bechtle IT System House Bonn will provide cloud access to the German Aerospace Center's Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI) using IQM's superconducting quantum computers until June 2027. This agreement expands DLR QCI's resources by enabling application teams to develop and compare quantum algorithms against existing technologies. Bechtle manages platform accounts and classical server support at IQM's Munich data center, while IQM's CEO Jan Goetz confirms the partnership expands since 2024.
Key points
- Bechtle IT System House Bonn will provide cloud access to the German Aerospace Center's Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI) using IQM's superconducting quantum computers until June 2027.
- The agreement enables application teams to develop and run quantum algorithms and compare superconducting systems with other quantum computing technologies.
Context
The DLR QCI brings together start-ups, industry, research, and the public sector in a strong ecosystem for sovereign, competitive quantum computing. Funding comes from the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, and the initiative commissions companies to develop quantum computers and algorithms for practical applications in materials research, aerospace, mobility, and security.
Limitations
Evidence is limited to a single press release from October 2026. The agreement duration is fixed at until June 2027, with no information on renewal terms or potential extensions beyond that date. Specific user counts, algorithm examples, or performance metrics are not provided.
