About
Forschungszentrum Julich is one of Europe's largest research centres, located in Julich, North Rhine-Westphalia. Through its Julich Supercomputing Centre (JSC), it hosts quantum computing systems integrated with classical high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, making it a key node in European quantum computing access. Julich hosts quantum computers from multiple vendors including IBM Eagle and Heron processors and IQM, and it participates in the European High-Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) quantum integration programme. The institute operates the JUNIQ (Julich UNified Infrastructure for Quantum computing) platform, which gives European researchers access to gate-based and quantum-annealing systems through a unified interface. Forschungszentrum Julich is a key node of the German Quantum Computing Initiative and the Helmholtz Quantum Center. Quantum research at Julich spans quantum algorithms, quantum simulation, quantum error mitigation, hybrid quantum-classical computing, and materials modelling. The institute's Peter Grunberg Institute (PGI) conducts foundational quantum materials research relevant to topological qubits and superconducting circuits. Julich participates in the OpenSuperQ European quantum computer project and is a consortium member of multiple EU Quantum Flagship projects. As part of the Helmholtz Association, Julich coordinates with 18 other German research centres on quantum technology strategy.
