Institute
Institute for Quantum Computing and Cryptography
The institute researches how companies can protect their data and digital systems over the long term and use the new possibilities offered by quantum computing. It connects fundamental research with concrete questions from industry and management. New methods are investigated under real technical conditions, and their practical and economic benefits are compared with those of classical solutions.
Current research priorities
Quantum-safe companies
Encryption, the protection of digital business processes and the preparation of existing IT systems for new security standards.
Hybrid methods for industrial data
Combining quantum computing and AI to analyse sensor and image data under real hardware conditions.
Secure connected systems
Investigating the foundations of robust quantum communication in complex networks, with potential applications in satellite-based systems.
