Quantum computers promise to solve complex problems in seconds, tasks that would take modern supercomputers decades to complete. While the goal of achieving this capability is clear, the path remains uncertain due to multiple competing approaches to building quantum systems. Each approach comes with its own strengths and limitations in areas such as hardware reliability, energy efficiency, and compatibility with existing technology.
Coordinated by the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF, a consortium of 28 partners is developing a unique quantum computer through the “SPINNING — Diamond spin-photon-based quantum computer” project. This diamond-based, spin-photon model is expected to require less cooling, operate for longer periods, and have lower error rates than other quantum computing technologies. Its hybrid design also enhances scalability and connectivity, allowing for more flexible integration with traditional computing systems.
