For such applications to become possible, quantum software must be easy to programme. This is where the FullStaQD project comes in: partners from science and industry are planning to set up a unified quantum computing software infrastructure. With the help of this reference architecture, quantum computing software components will be easier to develop and connect to other existing software components in the future.

The reference architecture will be developed and provided as open-source technology. The project will thus contribute to increasing the competitiveness of German industry and help to minimise unwanted dependencies in the field of quantum computing software.

Fraunhofer FOKUS will integrate the higher-level quantum programming language Eclipse Qrisp into the reference architecture of the quantum computing software stack and further develop it. To this end, certain compilation steps will be improved, interfaces will be co-designed, and the developments will be actively incorporated into standardisation projects. In order to validate the developed software stack, Fraunhofer FOKUS will support the project partners in the implementation and realisation of various use cases, e.g. from the security or mobility sector.
