This symposium brings together leading researchers and experts from academia and industry to explore recent advances and challenges in the development of fault-tolerant quantum systems and quantum algorithms for material science and quantum chemistry.

»And by golly it’s a wonderful problem, because it doesn’t look so easy.« (R. Feynman)

The simulation of quantum physical systems promises to be among the first fields to demonstrate a superiority of quantum computing over classical methods. Achieving this milestone with potential disruptive impact on several industry branches requires a joint effort to develop both: efficient, practical quantum algorithms and fault-tolerant, error-corrected quantum computers.

flaQship organizes this event as part of our activities in the Competence Center Quantum Computing Baden-Württemberg (KQCBW), the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS), and the Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences (HHN). It is the 2026 edition of a series of symposia at the Heilbronn site of the Fraunhofer Research and Innovation Center for Application-oriented Quantum AI, which promote knowledge exchange, strengthen professional networking, and support the flow of knowledge to Baden-Württemberg and the dynamically developing quantum technology region of Heilbronn.

The symposium is hosted at experimenta, Germany’s largest Science Center located in the heart of Heilbronn—an emerging quantum hub and unique location where expertise from national and international research institutions converges.

The event is aimed at

Researchers and software developers from the fields of quantum chemistry and materials science
