The Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung reported in the article “Quantentechnologien in NRW” about the current research projects throughout NRW. At the University of Siegen, in the research group of Prof. Dr. Christof Wunderlich, the first German quantum computer was put into operation in 2010. It is based on the MAGIC (Magnetic Gradient Induced Coupling) principle, which allows to use commercial high frequency technology for qubit control. It also enables operations on individual qubits with unprecedented fidelity while minimizing crosstalk and providing high connectivity between qubits.
„Deterministic control of individual quantum systems is leading to a new paradigm in information processing.“ PROF. DR. CHRISTOF WUNDERLICH, UNIVERSITÄT SIEGEN
