Die Zukunftstechnologie Quantencomputing steht an der Schwelle zur praktischen Anwendung im Unternehmen. Die Technologie ist weit fortgeschritten \u2013 doch noch fehlt vielen potenziellen Nutzern in der Industrie ein Einstiegsszenario mit klarem Mehrwert. Abstrakte Vorstellungen zu Aufwand und Kompetenzen hindern viele daran, die ersten praktischen Schritte in die eigene Quantenzukunft zu wagen \u2013 dabei k\u00f6nnte der Einstieg relativ einfach sein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developments in quantum computing are promising, but waiting for groundbreaking hardware innovations could be risky for companies. It is already important today to identify potential use cases. Effective communication with practitioners in the company plays a crucial role in this.
Our VR demonstrator has shown that innovative approaches to knowledge transfer not only offer a low-threshold introduction to the topic of quantum computing, but also create opportunities for discussion about how and where the topic can be anchored in one's own company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
