Germany Advances Key Consortia in €640 Million ($717.2 Million USD) Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing Competition

Germany’s Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) is investing €640 million in a quantum computing competition to develop fault-tolerant quantum processing units by 2030. Six consortia, two each in neutral atoms, trapped ions, and superconducting circuits, have been selected. Notable projects include LOGIQC, led by planqc, focusing on neutral ytterbium atoms, and NFQC-1k, led by AQT Germany, developing a trapped-ion microtrap system with a €122 million budget.
