Why planqc

Best Team Possible

Working at planqc means joining a unique team of world-class quantum physicists, engineers, and business professionals. At our hubs in Garching, Ulm, and Innsbruck, you’ll find a culture that values curiosity and collaboration as much as excellence. Together, we turn complex challenges into shared achievements.

Impactful Projects

Join us as we develop groundbreaking quantum systems and software, including a 1,000-qubit computer for the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ), a bespoke quantum computer for the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and quantum algorithms for several DLR projects.

Cutting-Edge Innovation

At planqc, you’ll work with state-of-the-art technology, using individual atoms as qubits to build highly scalable quantum computers. Our unique approach combines precision from the world’s best atomic clocks, quantum gas microscopes, and high-speed Rydberg gates. Together, we’re creating the fastest path to industry-relevant quantum advantage.

Recognition and Growth

planqc’s achievements are celebrated globally. From winning the German Startup Award in 2023 to being named a Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum in 2024, you’ll be part of a company that’s making history.

Work-Life Synergy

Whether it’s through team events, after-work socials, or opportunities to attend quantum conferences worldwide, you’ll find a supportive community that values both your professional and personal growth.

Advancing quantum, together: meet planqc.

Founded in 2022 by quantum physicists Glätzle, Blatt, and Zeiher, planqc spun off from the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics as Munich Quantum Valley's first startup. Our Garching headquarters, opened in 2024, houses both our quantum hardware production and software development.
