OpenSuperQ has achieved most of its goals. It has established quantum gate operations with state-of-the art errors with multiple strategies and in multiple laboratories. The measurement and cryogenics systems of OpenSuperQ, that can hold 100 qubits, are ready and the central laboratory has been built up as a fab-less suite for system integration and a stack for external access. The processors of OpenSuperQ were used for a global first in quantum error correction with 17 qubits. A new 25 qubit device in a three-dimensional multi-chip module is showing device performance that are not negatively affected by this high level of integration. A suite of benchmarks from quantum chemistry has been brought forward along with a software stack, allowing to calibrate and optimize operation of large quantum processors.
OpenSuperQ has brought together a scientific partner network for deepened exchange on both the academic and the industrial and use-case driven side.
In terms of exploitation, three spin-off companies (Qruise, Quantum Mad and Atlantic Quantum) have been founded as a result of OpenSuperQ. Additionally, the industry partners (Zurich Instruments, Bluefors, Low Noise Factory) have developed and launched numerous commercial results into the market. Furthermore, based on the successful collaboration within OpenSuperQ, the consortium decided to apply for the Framework Partnership Agreement (OpenSuperQPlus).
In terms of dissemination of results, the OpenSuperQ partners have been very active, with participation in conferences and publishing scientific publications. Additionally, the partners and OpenSuperQ has been featured in many news articles over the project lifetime, as well as participating in various communication campaigns e.g. TV and radio interviews. Additionally, the project partners have regularly aligned with the three boards (Scientific Advisory Board, User Board, Science Board), to share results and achievements and to ensure that results are aligned with user expectations. These regular alignments help to disseminate results to potential users (i.e. User Board members), as well as with potential future research partners (i.e. Science Board members). Furthermore, the project partners have actively communicated their exploitation successes through their own communication channels, as well as the OpenSuperQ project website and Twitter.
