19 million euros for ’lighthouse project’ with leading participation of the University of Stuttgart
The project "PlanQK: Platform and Ecosystem for Quantum-Enhanced Artificial Intelligence" combines artificial intelligence and quantum computing. The project goal is to create a platform for innovative quantum-enhanced AI applications and to make it available to smalland medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The PlanQK project has a total volume of more than 19 million euros with 11 million euros directly funded through the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy as part of the "KI Innovationswettbewerb". The University of Stuttgart has a prominent role in the project with Prof. Frank Leymann (Institute for Architecture of Application Systems) and Prof. Stefanie Barz (Institute for Functional Matter and Quantum Technologies) being leading partners in the interdisciplinary consortium of academia and industry. Artificial intelligence (AI) has a wide impact on many areas of daily life and enormous influence on current and future technologies. However, classical computer technologies are about to reach the limits of computing power required for advanced AI applications. Here, quantum computing provides a solution to this challenge, as it shows an advantage over classical computing for certain problems.
