Quantum Brilliance to build mobile quantum computer

Germany’s Cyber Agency has awarded Australian company Quantum Brilliance and Germany’s ParityQC one of three contracts valued at €35 million aimed at developing the world’s first mobile quantum computer by 2027.

The companies announced they have jointly been awarded a contract by Agentur für Innovation in der Cybersicherheit GmbH ‘Innovation in Cybersecurity’ to develop the mobile quantum computer.

Quantum Brilliance is an Australian German quantum computing hardware company providing diamond quantum accelerators while ParityQC develops blueprints and an operating system for quantum computers.

Quantum Brilliance and ParityQC were selected for the unique expertise.

The co-founder and CEO of Quantum Brilliance Mark Luo said: “The potential of a quantum mobile computer is enormous for defense and cybersecurity in Germany and allied nations, and we believe our technology is the perfect fit for fulfilling the goals of this project.”

The benefits of a mobile quantum computer include being able to perform highly complex simulations at quantum speeds deployed directly in the field instead of in data centers or via cloud access, allowing for secure and reliable computing power in remote environments.

In defense and national security scenarios, a mobile quantum computer could optimise troop movements, analyse battlefield scenarios, and simulate chemical or biological agents in real time.

The Chief Revenue Officer and EMEA General Manager for Quantum Brilliance Mark Mattingley-Scott said: ““Mobile quantum technology will enable powerful computations in environments not possible with classical computers.

“The technology will not only enhance defense and cybersecurity but will eventually benefit applications in scientific research, supply chain management, finance and more.”

The €35 million project is the largest research amount ever awarded by Cyberagentur, and aims to make a mobile quantum computer for use in defence, security and civilian applications.
