Overview

The abilities of quantum computers are rapidly evolving, with applications such as:

Quantum simulators are used to understand the capabilities of diverse quantum computers. Quantum simulators help us understand the logic behind quantum computing with various applications and how to operate and integrate them into our skill set. Many quantum computing simulations exhibit exponential scaling, which can quickly become computationally intensive. This means the computational time can drastically change (e.g., from 1 second to 1 hour) with a small increase in the qubit number (e.g., 10).

Services

We provide workshops and learning resources for getting started with quantum computing. Details about the workshop on Quantum Machine Learning can be found in the QML workshop materials and workshop on Quantum Optimization can be found in the optimization workshop materials. We also offer a variety of leading quantum simulators that can be used to test your own quantum circuits and algorithms on our HPC systems.

Simulators

Each simulator has its own advantages to provide, which makes choosing the best simulator for your task possible. We currently provide the many simulators. More details on these simulators and how to access them can be found on our simulator documentation page.

Support

We can assist on many inquiries such as:

  • Basic knowledge of quantum computing and its history
  • Creating quantum circuits and algorithms
  • Setting up your simulator environments

If your desired simulator is not available or for other general inquiries, feel free to contact us.

Infrastructure

The GWDG operates multiple HPC systems. Two systems are available to universities and publicly funded research institutes:

  • SCC: The SCC is available to members of the University of Göttingen and the Max Planck Institutes.
  • Emmy: Access to Emmy is granted based on a project basis.

Information on how to access the HPC systems can be found on the HPC access page.
