New publication on fault-tolerant code switching

03 Sep 2025

A universal set of fault-tolerant quantum gate operations, Clifford+T, is realized by switching between a 2D and a 3D color code

Cologne, September 3, 2025 – neQxt is working on scalable ways to make quantum computers work reliably. By encoding logical information across many physical qubits in a Quantum error correcting code, fragile quantum states are protected against errors that naturally arise in any physical architecture. Implementing a universal set of quantum gate operations on logical qubits remains challenging. Some gates are "easy" to perform fault-tolerantly, while others, like the T-gate, typically require additional costly procedures such as preparing special "magic states".

Bundesdruckerei cooperates with start-ups for research for the quantum internet

23 Jun 2025

Berlin/Munich, June 23, 2025 – Bundesdruckerei, neQxt, and JoS QUANTUM will demonstrate groundbreaking developments in the field of quantum technologies at World of Quantum. The world's largest trade fair for this technology will take place in Munich from June 24 to 27. The focus of the three German research partners is the "Quantum Internet in a Nutshell" project. An ion trap quantum computer will enable, for the first time, the realistic imitation, research, and testing of quantum-based cryptography on a real quantum system – with direct benefits for the construction and security aspects of a future quantum internet.
