Quantum computers from eleQtron
Our quantum computers are ready to change the world. Freely programmable, scalable and available for industry and science.
The potential applications of quantum computing are huge. But to use them, reliable technologies and the courage to break new ground are needed. We bring both to the table!
As the first quantum computer manufacturer in Germany, we’ve already made computing time on ion-based quantum computers available.
Innovation quantum
Quantum computers will solve problems that are currently unsolvable. Unlike conventional bits of a regular computer, the qubits of a quantum computer can assume combinations of the states 1 and 0 simultaneously. This enables parallel calculations and makes quantum computers incomparably fast and efficient. Supercomputers can’t keep up with them.
Mission MAGIC
For more than 20 years, researchers have been trying to develop scalable quantum computers that take advantage of quantum effects. In the process, however, they are encountering new challenges. The biggest difficulty is shielding and controlling the qubits. They must be isolated from the environment by elaborate processes. Which, depending on their architecture, places enormous demands on cooling and controllable environments. Precise control of the quantum states generated is also difficult to master.
An ion-based
quantum computer with MAGIC
Our unique MAGIC technology is a true milestone. MAGIC (MAgnetic Gradient Induced Coupling) enables us to control ion qubits with microwaves. Precisely, reliably and inexpensively. Microwave fields are already ubiquitous in computers and cell phones. Miniaturizable and perfectly controlled.
Individual control of qubits can be integrated into trap chips and can be done with unparalleled quality. We have already been able to demonstrate that control with our MAGIC technology does not exert any undesirable side effects on other qubits, thus significantly reducing a major source of error. The laser cooling as well as the readout of the quantum bits can be performed with much simpler lasers. Commercially available, robust and proven technology is used to control them. In principle, scaling up to more ions will pose no problems either: Miniaturized structures for trapping ions and controlling qubits can be integrated on chips.
Already, our models are outperforming the international competition in key metrics. And we’ve only just begun.
Welcome to
the future!
Quantum Advantage – the point at which quantum computers become definitively superior to supercomputers in practical applications. While many see this as a distant future, at eleQtron it’s already within reach. To bring our freely programmable MAGIC quantum computer to market, we drive forward daily developments in ion-trap chips, microwave technology, and quantum algorithms. Already today, we’re implementing quantum computers to address relevant real-world problems. The technology is ready – and so are we.
Quantum computers
in action
With our MAGIC App funding project, among others, we are paving the way for the industrialization of quantum computing. Potential applications range from medicine to finance and far beyond.
Optimization
The problem of optimizing functions has long preoccupied science. Quantum parallelism allows the simultaneous testing of many solutions in order to find the best variant a lot faster. Quantum computers would thus be of great importance not only in financial mathematics.
Chemistry and biology
Quantum computers can be used to calculate the properties of large molecules. The simulation of physical particles, their states and interactions can, for example, enable unimagined progress in the development of medicines.
Logistics
Quantum computers could also solve the famous traveling salesman problem: How can the shortest and simplest route be found mathematically efficiently on a tour of various stops? Such complex logistical issues are a potential application area for quantum technology.
Search algorithms
Quantum search algorithms can pick out exactly those entries from large databases that meet certain defined conditions. And it is proven that they do this so quickly and efficiently that no classical search algorithm can keep up.
Cryptography
Quantum-based cryptography promises unprecedented possibilities in encryption and data security. In particular, quantum Fourier transform (QFT) is used for deciphering codes, which we have also already implemented with our computers.
Machine learning
Machine learning has gained enormous importance in recent years. For research, in everyday life and with regard to industry-relevant questions. As already proven by eleQtron, quantum computers can drastically accelerate relevant decision-making processes.
The full potential of quantum computers can hardly be estimated today. But one thing is clear: As technology advances, so do the possibilities and needs. Grow along with us!

We’re continuously working on further machines with progressively increased performance and integrating them into the cloud.
Our big goal is to bring a scalable and freely programmable MAGIC quantum computer to the market!
FAQ
Quantum computers can solve mathematical problems that will forever remain closed to conventional computers. With each qubit, the number of operations that can be performed in parallel doubles. In the future, this will make it possible to efficiently tackle problems that were previously practically unsolvable.
A quantum computer calculates with qubits. In contrast to the bits of a conventional computer, a qubit can simultaneously assume combinations (superpositions) of the values 1 and 0. That makes parallel processing of different inputs possible. Several possible solutions can be tried out simultaneously, so to speak. This is what makes quantum computers so much faster and more efficient than classical computers and even supercomputers.
A quantum is the smallest possible unit of a physical quantity. It cannot be further divided. An example of quants are the photons or light particles that make up electromagnetic radiation.
Quantum bits or qubits are the smallest computing units of a quantum computer. Just like the bits in a conventional computer. The difference is that quantum bits can assume the states 0 and 1 simultaneously.
Quantum gates are the elementary calculation operations of a quantum computer. They are not physical components, but time-controllable interactions of qubits with each other or with their environment. The quality of these gate operations can be significantly increased with our MAGIC technology.
The possible applications of quantum computers are manifold. They range from basic research questions, such as the simulation of large quantum systems, to problems in logistics, finance, chemistry or machine learning.
Qubits are extremely sensitive. To make them stable enough to perform calculations, they must be shielded against external influences and interactions must be ruled out. This requires elaborate processes that cool the qubits down to absolute zero, to -273.15°C. Our MAGIC technology can simplify this considerably.
Functioning computers with up to dozens of qubits already exist. They can solve the first special test problems for which classical computers would take much longer. But there is still work to be done before a completely freely programmable quantum computer becomes interesting for industrial applications. The number of qubits and, in particular, the quality of the gate operations (the simplest calculation steps) must be increased.
