Q.ANT Partners with PlanQK to Advance Quantum Photonics

Q.ANT, a startup stemming from high-tech German company TRUMPF, has collaborated with PlanQK as an associated partner. Q.ANT will contribute its knowledge in photonic quantum computing and will make its in-house developed and manufactured quantum computer chips available to the PlanQK ecosystem.

PlanQK is a community-powered quantum platform and ecosystem supported by the German government, connecting more than 100 companies, scientific institutions, public administrations, and associations. Founded by software-focused quantum startup Anaqor, PlanQK plans to simplify quantum computing for users and developers by providing an easily accessible app store with community-powered quantum applications.

There are 447 suppliers of Optics in the Photonics Marketplace.

Glossary

quantum: The term quantum refers to the fundamental unit or discrete amount of a physical quantity involved in interactions at the atomic and subatomic scales. It originates from quantum theory, a branch of physics that emerged in the early 20th century to explain phenomena observed on very small scales, where classical physics fails to provide accurate explanations. In the context of quantum theory, several key concepts are associated with the term quantum: Quantum mechanics: This is the branch of...
photonics: The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
