Germany to open world's first mobile quantum computer by 2027.
The era of quantum computing appears to be fast approaching, and Germany is putting itself at the forefront of the technology with a big announcement. By 2027, it plans to launch the world’s first mobile quantum computer, designed specifically for defense, but with implications far beyond that. With a budget of 35 million euros, the project is the largest investment of its kind by the German cybersecurity agency.

Advanced Union for an Ambitious Project
Four technology companies, Quantum Brilliance, ParityQC, Oxford Ionics, and neQxt, have been selected to develop this technological marvel. Their mission? Create a quantum computer that not only meets the stringent requirements of defense applications, but is also portable and performs well in real-time in a variety of environments. Each of these companies brings unique expertise, from miniaturized quantum chips to scalable quantum architecture, promising an impressive synergy.
This historic French arms group is preparing to take on the robotic tanks of the future in Europe with this new high-tech kit.
Mini Quantum Chips: A Disruptive Technology
Quantum Brilliance’s room-temperature quantum chips are made possible by the nitrogen-vacancy centers in synthetic diamonds. This feature allows them to operate without the extreme cooling systems required by other quantum technologies. They are also easier to integrate with conventional semiconductors, another step toward seamless integration with existing technologies.
Architecture and Operating System of the Future
ParityQC is not far behind in the development of ParityOS, a quantum operating system and architecture that aims to process complex algorithms more efficiently. This innovative approach is crucial to enabling mobile quantum computers to operate optimally in harsh conditions, such as on battlefields or when managing troop movements.
Wearable Quantum Solutions for Defense and Beyond
Oxford Ionics is revolutionizing qubit control with its proprietary electronic control technology, eliminating the need for traditional lasers and enabling manufacturing that is more compatible with current semiconductor technologies. Their portable quantum computer, MinIon, is designed to meet critical national security and defense needs.
German innovation advances with MaQue
NeQxt, a German startup, is integrating trapped ion technology into a portable, modular architecture called MaQue. The system will enable real-time simulations and data analysis, without relying on large cloud-based data centers, which is essential for operations in remote and insecure areas.
Wide applications and global impact
If the project is initially aimed at defense, the implications of this technology will extend to other sectors such as finance, supply chain management or scientific research. Thus, the impact of a portable quantum computer will be enormous, enabling powerful calculations in conditions that were previously impossible for classical computers.
