Quantum Innovation and Computing for SMEs
QUICS is a test and advisory centre for quantum computing, tailored to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
What is QUICS?
QUICS is a test and advisory centre for quantum computing, tailored to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The QUICS project lowers the barriers to adopting quantum computing. We provide training and simulation tools for SMEs so you can build the necessary expertise today. You are not just preparing for the future — you are shaping it.
Quantum computing offers new ways to solve certain problems, and its capabilities are growing. While a classical supercomputer must double its resources to handle just one additional layer of complexity, a quantum system scales exponentially with every qubit added. The question is not whether this capability will change your industry, but when.
Our platform tracks the quantum-computing landscape and documents the critical intersection of qubit counts and error rates across the industry. We are working on a visualisation of this data that shows the real-time trajectory of the field and highlights the exponential growth of quantum volume — a holistic metric of QC performance. This landscape lets us help organisations pinpoint the precise window in which quantum hardware will reach definitive advantage for their specific use cases. As quantum technologies advance, organisations should prepare long-term for future risks — for instance, the possibility of breaking current encryption schemes.

Quantum magic: What QC can and cannot do
Entanglement alone isn't enough for a quantum advantage. This post explains the essential resource known as 'magic', why T-gates make all the difference, and where the limits of the technology lie.
Vehicle Routing Problem with Quantum Annealing
Quantum annealing helps solve complex logistics problems like the Vehicle Routing Problem. We split the problem into a clustering and routing phase, encode it as QUBO, and solve it with a D-Wave simulator.
Gate-based Quantum Computing vs Quantum Annealing
Gate-based quantum computing and quantum annealing are two approaches to implementing quantum computing. The first is universal, the second perfect for optimisation.
