As one of the most promising future technologies, quantum computing has an enormous innovation potential. The BMW Group will in the future support research into the future technology of quantum computing at the RWTH Aachen University, thus once again emphasising its leading role in the development of a quantum ecosystem.
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Rdiger, Rector of the RWTH Aachen University, Alexander Buresch, CIO of BMW AG, and Dr. Stefan Floeck, Executive Mentor of the Strategic Partnership of the BMW Group and RWTH Aachen University and Senior Vice President Product Line MINI and BMW Compact Class, have signed the contract for establishing the Quantum Information Systems endowed chair.
The BMW Group is providing 4.5 million over a period of six years for professorship, equipment, and employees at the RWTH Aachen University. A further 1.0 million will be paid into a networking fund that supports industrial research projects and ensures that the chair is integrated in the university environment and in the research centre Jlich. In the chair the use cases from the core business of the BMW Group with a potential quantum advantage are contemplated comprehensively in terms of industrialisation. The common higher-order objective of the RWTH Aachen University and the BMW Group is to close the gap between outstanding basic research in Germany and the applicability of quantum computing in industry.
Dr. Stefan Floeck:The BMW Group can look back on many years of strategic partnership with the RWTH Aachen University. The close cooperation between companies and universities is mutually beneficial we at the BMW Group are convinced of that. With its excellent networked ecosystem and technological focus, the RWTH Aachen University is the perfect home for the endowed chair, which will offer valuable insight into the industrialisation of quantum solutions.
Prof. Dr. Ulrich Rdiger:Quantum technology is one of the major topics of the future, with enormous innovation potential for our social progress. With this endowed professorship, we can intensify our research in this area. As RWTH Aachen University, we like working in networks. We are convinced that we achieve the best solutions for future topics through a continuous exchange of knowledge and technology with partners from science, industry and society.
Alexander Buresch:The endowed chair at the RWTH Aachen University is an important step towards the potential use of quantum computing at the BMW Group. It creates software and integration competencies that are necessary for the industrialisation of the quantum computing ecosystem. Together with the Quantum Algorithms and Applications endowed chair at the Technical University of Munich, which we announced in June this year, we hope to unlock potential within the automotive value chain based on an end-to-end approach.
Quantum computing utilises quantum mechanical effects to accelerate computing capacity. As one of the most promising technologies of the future, it has the potential to push the limits of what is possible to date and revolutionise fields of application from material research to automated driving. The technology environment in the field of quantum computing is still only in its beginnings. University collaborations thus offer great potential.
On 16 June of this year, the BMW Group, together with the Technical University of Munich (TUM), already announced the establishment of the Quantum Algorithms and Applications endowed chair. The BMW Group will provide 5.1 million over a period of six years for professorship, equipment, and employees at TUM. The chair addresses the development of algorithms related to use cases along the industrial value chain.
For the BMW Group, the Quantum Information Systems endowed chair at RWTH Aachen University is an important addition to the existing chair in Munich. It contemplates use cases from the BMW Groups core business comprehensively in terms of industrialisation. Software integration and industrialisation skills are being created to implement a quantum advantage in the medium term.
As one of the leading technical universities in Europe, the RWTH Aachen University has been a strategic partner of the BMW Group since 2017. The RWTH Innovation is responsible for the key account management of the cooperation as the universitys central, cross-university research and technology transfer unit. It supports the BMW Group in networking, initiating, and coordinating projects at the RWTH Aachen University. Dr. Stefan Floeck, Senior Vice President Product Line MINI and BMW Compact Class, was appointed Executive Mentor of the partnership and is thus the link between the BMW Group and the RWTH Aachen University. His role includes continuously developing the partnership and pressing ahead with the cooperation.
The scientists and also the young academics at the technical university are already cooperating closely with the development departments of the BMW Group. The BMW Group itself provides students with practical information on requirements from industry. This can also be seen in the research promotion project KIZAM (Artificial Intelligence in requirements management). Four institutes of RWTH Aachen University, four departments of the BMW Group and four other industrial partners are involved in research on how Artificial Intelligence can accelerate and improve product development. The first joint Technology Day was a highlight of the strategic partnership, which provided a platform for dialogue between science and business in June of this year.
