Quantum Optimization Meets Rail Transport QCMobility | Rail Transport, led by the DLR Institute of Transportation Systems, is piloting quantum-based algorithms to improve real-world rail operations—applying quantum machine learning to routing, scheduling, and disruption management. The consortium includes d-fine, planqc and major infrastructure providers like DB InfraGO and ÖBB Infrastruktur, with Fraunhofer IKS providing AI support. By benchmarking quantum approaches against classical methods using real operational data, the project aims to uncover measurable gains in efficiency and reliability for the rail sector.

🧬 Quantenphysik trifft Unternehmertum: Willkommen, Alexander Glätzle! Der promovierte theoretische Quantenphysiker ist CEO & Mitgründer von planqc – einem der ambitioniertesten Start-ups Europas. Seine Mission: Den ersten deutschen Quantencomputer auf Basis neutraler Atome bauen. Nach Stationen als Senior Research Fellow an der University of Oxford und dem Center for Quantum Technologies in Singapur verließ Alexander 2018 die akademische Welt, um in der Beratung Unternehmen zu Zukunftstechnologien wie Quantencomputing und Blockchain zu begleiten. Seit 2022 bringt er dieses Know-how in den Aufbau von planqc ein – mit Sitz im Quantencluster Garching bei München. 💡 Was planqc besonders macht? Ultrakalte Atome, die mehr als eine Million Mal kälter sind als der Weltraum – und dennoch bei Raumtemperatur betrieben werden können. Eine Plattform mit dem Potenzial, Quantencomputer schnell auf Tausende Qubits zu skalieren – für Anwendungen in Medizin, Materialforschung und KI. 🎤 Auf dem BIG BANG KI FESTIVAL spricht Alexander darüber, was es braucht, damit Europa bei Quantentechnologien nicht nur mitläuft, sondern vorangeht – und warum jetzt der richtige Zeitpunkt für mutige Innovation ist. 📅 10. & 11. September 2025 📍 Alte Münze, Berlin #BBKIF25 #BIGBANGKIFestival

“𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮’𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬’𝙨 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.” With these words, Federal Minister Dorothee Bär expressed exactly what drives us at planqc every day. In her recent budget speech, Minister Bär underlined the economic and strategic importance of quantum technologies, citing studies that estimate up to $2 trillion in value creation over the next decade — in quantum computing alone, and specifically in industries such as chemistry, life sciences, finance, and mobility. We are proud to contribute to this future at planqc by building a scalable quantum computer based on neutral atoms — a key technology made in Germany. The fact that Minister Bär is placing quantum technologies at the center of Germany’s innovation agenda is an encouraging and powerful signal — for us, for the scientific community, and for Germany as a tech hub. 🗨️ “Our sincere thanks to Federal Minister Bär for her support – maintaining Europe’s leadership in quantum technologies requires continued strong political commitment.” — Dr. Alexander Glätzle, CEO of planqc #planqc #QuantumComputing #DorotheeBär #InnovationMadeInGermany #FutureTech #SciencePolicy #QuantumTech #DeepTech #GermanyInnovates
