Quantensysteme Research Programme
Runs Germany’s Quantensysteme umbrella for photonics and quantum technologies, coordinating national funding channels for strategic quantum systems development.
The Quantensysteme programme is BMFTR’s national umbrella for photonics and quantum technologies, bringing these fields together under a single research framework since 2022. The programme funds quantum computing, quantum simulation, quantum communication, quantum measurement, and the enabling technology needed to build operational quantum systems. Delivery is typically organized through Bekanntmachungen by project agencies such as VDI Technologiezentrum. It is connected to Germany’s participation in the EU Chips for Europe Joint Undertaking on quantum chips, with funding intended to support strategic national capability. The separate Quantum Future programme focuses on early career talent, while Quantensysteme centres on wider ecosystem execution in the quantum sector.
