Join us in building a scalable diamond-based quantum computer at Germany's leading quantum computing innovation center!
About Us: XeedQ GmbH is a pioneer in the field of quantum technology, striving to make quantum computing accessible to innovators and problem solvers worldwide. Our quantum processors utilize qubits created from Nitrogen-Vacancy defects in diamonds, resulting in compact, robust, and energy-efficient systems. We are funded € 30 million by Quantum Computing Initiative (https://qci.dlr.de/) to build a scalable diamond spin-based quantum computer.
Location: Our XeedQ R&D facility is situated within the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Quantum Computing Initiative (QCI) – Innovations Center in Ulm, Germany.
Facilities: The QCI is creating a unique ecosystem that nurtures quantum computing companies and enabling technologies under one roof. This fosters cross-technology discussions and collaborations with companies and various DLR institutes. Access to advanced clean-room and nanofabrication facilities provided by the QCI is an invaluable boost for achieving our goal of democratizing scalable quantum processors.
Team: We aim to recruit professionals with diverse science, engineering backgrounds to be part of our strong technical team in Ulm, Germany.
