Use Cases

A central element of the INQUBATOR project is easy and cost-effective access to quantum computers from various manufacturers. Companies of all sizes are given the opportunity to develop tailor-made solutions for their individual processes and test the potential of quantum algorithms without having to invest in expensive hardware infrastructures themselves.

As part of INQUBATOR, the participating Fraunhofer Institutes are working with selected industry partners on four initial use cases from the fields of medicine, cyber security, insurance, and the automotive industry.

Based on this, an open call for proposals will be conducted in the first year to create at least four additional use cases from various industries.

Specific exploitation plans will be developed for each use case. This opens up new opportunities for industry (especially for partners who have not yet used quantum computing) to contribute their own problems and work together to solve complex problems efficiently in the long term. The focus is on investigating innovative quantum computing approaches in an economic context, with a focus on particularly promising algorithms that are being tested and validated on current quantum computers in the project.
