Quantum Computing: A Renaissance Opportunity for German Software Industry?
summary
Panel asserts that software — not just hardware — shortens the path to business advantage by delivering middleware that hides quantum complexity and plugins (ERP/SAP) that turn quantum outputs into decisions. Concrete tools discussed include gate‑based vs photonic vs trapped‑ion stacks, simulators, evolving APIs and compilers, and funded consortia linking research, vendors (IQM, ParityQC, Electron) and end users. Recommendations: fund high‑risk hardware, build a quantum abstraction layer, train hybrid roles like “quantum algorithm business analyst.”
