FZI Research Center for Infor­ma­tion Technology

The FZI Research Center for Infor­ma­tion Techno­logy develops methods and tools for quantum software enginee­ring. Its focus is on the develo­p­ment, quality assurance, and opera­tion of hybrid quantum appli­ca­ti­ons. The research covers software archi­tec­tures, verifi­ca­tion and testing methods, conti­nuous integra­tion, and the integra­tion of quantum compu­ting into estab­lished software develo­p­ment proces­ses and indus­trial applications. 

Research

  • Quantum Software Enginee­ring: Methods, Archi­tec­tures, and Tools for the Develo­p­ment, Testing, Verifi­ca­tion, and Mainten­ance of Hybrid Quantum Applications.
  • Quality assurance and sustainable delivery of quantum software: conti­nuous integra­tion, automa­ted build and test proces­ses, and methods for the ongoing delivery of stable, produc­tion-ready software artifacts.
  • Quantum-secure software systems: Post-quantum readi­ness analy­ses, migra­tion to post-quantum crypto­gra­phy, and the develo­p­ment of future-proof software and IT infrastructures.

Activities

  • Develo­p­ment of methods in quantum software enginee­ring within the frame­work of the Baden-Württem­berg Center of Excel­lence for Quantum Computing.

    Baden-Württem­berg Quantum Compu­ting Compe­tence Center

    The FZI is develo­ping methods for quantum software enginee­ring at the Baden-Württem­berg Quantum Compu­ting Compe­tence Center. The focus is on software archi­tec­ture-based error mitiga­tion, the verifi­ca­tion of quantum software through trans­la­tion into estab­lished programming languages, and conti­nuous integra­tion approa­ches for repro­du­ci­ble and long-lasting quantum software.

  • Support for the develo­p­ment of a reference archi­tec­ture for the quantum compu­ter software stack as part of the FullStaQD project.

    FullStaQD – Full-Stack Quantum Compu­ting for Germany

    Through FullStaQD, the FZI is support­ing the develo­p­ment of a reference archi­tec­ture for the quantum compu­ter software stack. The goal is to create a standar­di­zed integra­tion frame­work with clearly defined inter­faces that facili­ta­tes the develo­p­ment of inter­ope­ra­ble software compon­ents and streng­thens the German quantum compu­ting ecosystem.

  • Develo­p­ment of migra­tion strate­gies and proto­ty­pes for post-quantum crypto­gra­phy as part of the Quant­um­Leap project.

    Quant­um­Leap – Post-Quantum Crypto­gra­phy for the Finan­cial Sector

    Through the Quant­um­Leap project, the FZI develo­ped migra­tion strate­gies and proto­ty­pes for the transi­tion to post-quantum crypto­gra­phy. The goal was to secure criti­cal IT systems early on against future attacks by quantum compu­ters and to incor­po­rate the results into standar­diza­tion processes.

  • Develo­p­ment of a quantum imple­men­ta­tion of the orien­tee­ring problem for scena­rio-based route planning to validate automa­ted driving functions in the SEQUOIA project.

    SEQUOIA – Quantum Algorithms for Scena­rio-Based Route Planning

    As part of the SEQUOIA project, the FZI develo­ped a quantum imple­men­ta­tion of the orien­tee­ring problem for scena­rio-based route planning to support automa­ted driving functions. The project demons­tra­tes the use of quantum algorithms for indus­trial optimiza­tion problems.
