Our Mission
Quantum computing is becoming a reality. Superconducting, ion traps, neutral atoms, … the hardware is getting there! However, software capable of handling numerous complex design tasks is needed to connect end users to these platforms. Unfortunately, software for quantum computing is still in its infancy and the development of quantum computing software remains challenging. The “Munich Quantum Software Company” aims to create industry-strength software tools and services that provide for quantum computing what we already take for granted in conventional IT.
Our Motivation
End Users without Quantum Computing Background
Chemistry, physics, medicine, logistics, finance, cryptography, machine learning, and many more. Quantum computing has numerous potential applications. However corresponding domain experts often have no background in quantum computing. And they shouldn’t need it! As in conventional IT (where end users also do not require a background in electrical circuits and systems), software needs to shield them from quantum physics.
Expert Software Developers
Software for quantum computing is often developed by lateral entrants. While this endeavor will always require interdisciplinary efforts, it is crucial to involve experienced software engineers. By leveraging decades of design automation expertise and software engineering principles, quantum computing can be pushed toward higher reliability and efficiency.
Complex Design Tasks
How to “encode” your real-world problem into a quantum algorithm? How to make sure it works as intended? How to bring it to hardware? All that requires solving highly non-trivial design tasks. Software needs to tackle those – providing powerful and easy-to-use simulators, compilers, and more.
Integration Into Software Stacks
There is not the single tool to solve everything. Instead, different software solutions (both, from the conventional realm and quantum computing) need to be orchestrated into complex software stacks. This requires standards, interfaces, programming languages, etc., and a deep understanding of the various (interdisciplinary) players and their needs/requirements.
