Quantum computers are potentially many times more powerful than conventional computers and could one day solve complex problems in medical research, energy, logistics or artificial intelligence. The Leipzig startup SAXON Q, founded in 2021, has succeeded in engineering a quantum computer for industrial use: away from room-filling installations and toward a handy, flexible box. The key is a proven process from semiconductor technology, generating the qubits on a diamond chip just a few millimetres across. Unlike previous quantum machines, these processors need no cooling or complex infrastructure and are insensitive to disturbances. The system is already used by major clients and targets entirely new applications — in satellites, autonomous driving, and in a few years even smartphones.
