"Most people see quantum computers as simply 'faster computers.' I see a foundational new infrastructure for computation and for reality itself. SaxonQ developed the only mobile system working at room temperature, wherever there's a wall plug. This isn't the future. This is today. That's why I believe SaxonQ will be the first to translate quantum technology into all our lives."

With dual-core technology, SaxonQ takes a decisive step forward: two processor cores compute jointly within a single system, can be controlled independently, and are capable of executing parallel operations. This demonstrates that SaxonQ’s quantum processors can potentially be scaled to multi-core systems with any number of cores. A new readout technology has also significantly increased the speed of the quantum computer. 

Co-founder and CEO Prof. Marius Grundmann: “In the race to build the first broadly usable industrial quantum computer, scalability is the decisive factor. Our qubits in diamond have been running stably in any environment for years. With this new generation, we have not only significantly increased computing power, but also meaningfully improved qubit accuracy and the overall system stability. Quantum computing is arriving in the real world – and with us, also via the cloud.”

CEO Dr. Frank Schlichting: “The fact alone that we are presenting the third generation of quantum computers in the company’s fifth year of existence is an enormous achievement by our team. We are not talking about theory or devices that only work in a perfect laboratory environment. We are demonstrating that this technology will soon deliver a decisive advantage in energy supply, medical research, artificial intelligence, and many other industries. With the dual-core system, the path to a quantum computer on a chip – and with it, broad industrial application – has become a whole lot shorter.”

Whitepaper

Der Beitrag Premiere: Dual-Core Quantencomputer live auf Hannover Messe erschien zuerst auf SaxonQ.

We’ve integrated an API into our Gemstone software, allowing developers to seamlessly embed the SaxonQ quantum computer into their own programs.

This enables Fraunhofer IWU’s developers to:

• write their own software and send computation tasks directly to the quantum computer,
• check the device and job status,
• and automatically retrieve results.

This makes research on quantum algorithms and application development much more practical and hands-on.

New use cases – in optimization, simulation, or materials development – can now be tested directly on real hardware.

Together with Fraunhofer IWU, we’re continuously working to bring quantum computing from research into industrial practice and to demonstrate the performance of our mobile system in real-world applications.

The goal is to further accelerate the development and industrial application of quantum computing in Saxony and to secure the region’s innovation advantage. The active use of SaxonQ’s technology and recent awards underline the company’s excellent position for continued growth. 

Statements on the collaboration

Sören Schuster, TGFS:

“With SaxonQ, we are deliberately investing in a key technology that further strengthens Saxony as an innovation region. The systems already in operation impressively demonstrate that quantum computing is not just a topic of research, but real practice. That’s exactly what we are building on: we see significant potential in further development – from new architectural approaches to expanding production capacities – to sustainably advance applications in AI, energy, logistics, and medicine from Saxony and beyond.”

Prof Marius Grundmann, SaxonQ:

“Our technology significantly lowers the barriers to using quantum hardware and can become a real game changer for applications in AI, logistics, and medical research. The first systems are already in productive use – including at Fraunhofer IWU and the German Aerospace Center. And the scientific environment here in Leipzig, the birthplace of quantum mechanics, couldn’t be better suited to advancing quantum technologies together with some of the brightest minds.” 

Dr Frank Schlichting, SaxonQ:

“Quantum computing is already a reality. We were likely the first company to demonstrate real applications – from quantum chemistry to image processing – live at Hannover Messe. The TGFS investment reflects strong trust in our team and roadmap. Our goal is the first chip-sized quantum computer – scalable and versatile for broad industrial use. TGFS and SaxonQ share a common vision of quantum computing as a key technology reaching far beyond Saxony. That’s why we were able to close the investment quickly, pragmatically, and with clear focus.”

This means that SaxonQ’s quantum computer, originally designed as a standalone system, is now also network-enabled via API – and is available for selected partner applications through the DLR infrastructure.

Pioneer Project with the German Aerospace Center

The starting point was the DLR itself: In an initial pilot project, SaxonQ’s freely programmable 4-qubit system – based on NV technology – was connected at the Innovation Center in Hamburg and integrated into network operations. The quantum computer operates there at room temperature, requires no complex infrastructure, and provides developers with easy access through a graphical user interface., benötigt keine aufwändige Infrastruktur und bietet über eine grafische Benutzeroberfläche einen einfachen Zugang für Entwickler:innen.

Computing Time on Real Qubits

QCI Connect allows partners to test their own algorithms on real hardware in close collaboration with the developer teams. To this end, SaxonQ developed a dedicated framework that receives cloud jobs, validates them, forwards them to the quantum processor, and returns the results in a structured manner. A digital twin of the quantum computer with simulated qubits enabled full software development and testing before commissioning.

With the cloud connection via QCI Connect, quantum computing on the SaxonQ system is now available for the first time to a broader developer community – ideal for training, applications, and experiments with real qubits in realistic environments.

At the futureSAX Innovation Conference on June 25, 2025, in Dresden, SaxonQ was awarded the Saxon Founders’ Award in the category “Startup of the Year.” More than 100 startups had applied – our mobile quantum computer convinced the jury.

Co-founder and CEO Prof. Marius Grundmann: “This award affirms our path: developing a commercially viable quantum computing technology that can fundamentally change how we process data in the coming years. That we were able to build this in Leipzig and Saxony is thanks to the proximity to cutting-edge research, strong public support, and a robust semiconductor ecosystem. It’s a clear signal that tech-driven startups from this region can succeed.”

The Saxon Founders’ Award is presented by the Saxon State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Labour and Transport and is one of the most prestigious honors for startups in Saxony. It recognizes particularly innovative and growth-oriented ventures.

Image Recognition

A live demo of quantum-enhanced image classification identifies a smiley vs. non-smileyin real-time, using an NV-center processor and an interactive graphical interface.

Quantum Chemistry

A quantum chemical calculation of H₂ energy levels is performed using a single NV-center qubit, with real-time graphical output.

These mark the first-ever real-time quantum chemical calculation and image recognition on a mobile quantum computer in a public space.

Quantum Machines’ OPX+, a high-precision microwave electronics system, was instrumental to this demonstration, enabling precise and dynamic qubit control in complex, real-world environments. The system dramatically reduces overhead while ensuring stability, making it a key enabler of SaxonQ’s room-temperature, energy-efficient quantum computer.

Quantum Machines’ OPX+ control system plays a crucial role in optimizing qubit manipulation, bringing stability, efficiency, and scalability to SaxonQ’s technology.
