Munich. The BMW Group will in future be supporting research into quantum computing at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Today, Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann, President of TUM, Frank Weber, Member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Development, and Alexander Buresch, CIO of BMW AG, signed an agreement to establish an endowed chair in “Quantum Algorithms and Applications”. Over a period of six years, the BMW Group will make a fund of €5.1 million available to TUM for a professorship, equipment and personnel. By taking this step, the BMW Group and TUM are seeking to bridge the gap between the outstanding basic research carried out in Germany and its specific application in industry. The holder of the chair will conduct applied research into specific problems and issues in the field of quantum computing at the same time as establishing an ongoing exchange of knowledge and findings between TUM and the BMW Group.
