Infineon builds mobile quantum computer for the military
The German chip company Infineon wants to build a mobile quantum computer for military, police and crisis operations. As announced by the cyber agency of the German Federal Ministries of the Interior and Defense, Infineon and its English partner Oxford Ionics have been selected alongside two other consortia to build such a computer within three years.
Scientists, start-ups and corporations such as IBM, Google and the Chinese internet giant Alibaba are working on such computers, which are huge, shielded from radiation with concrete and lead and cooled in data centers.
The research teams funded by the cyber agency are to build a quantum computer that is so robust, compact, light and energy-efficient that it can be transported by truck or ship and then used at the desired location.
The agency is providing 35 million euros for the project. It will then select a system from the three products for further development for practical use.
