DLR and NASA are jointly developing a software package for quantum computers
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) and the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) are collaborating on a software library that will make it possible to use today's quantum computers to explore the potential of quantum computing to solve real-world aerospace application problems. The Quantum Computing research group at DLR has already published a software module that has been used to explore quantum computing approaches for tasks such as optimising routes for transatlantic flights, allocating aircraft at major airports or planning satellite missions. NASA and DLR are now developing further modules and will subsequently make them available as open-source software. The cooperation was agreed in January 2022.

Quantum Computing Exchange Forum strengthens cooperation
The goal is clear – the development of quantum computers in Germany and Europe. It is an area that research centres and universities, industrial enterprises and start-ups are working on. Their areas of focus vary; some are looking at the hardware or software, others are focusing more on the fundamental principles or even the applications. Cooperation already exists. To further strengthen the networking of all those taking part, the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) has set up the Quantum Computing Exchange Forum.

More accurate than ever – new clocks for future satellite navigation
There are no easy comparisons to show how accurate the clocks on the Galileo satellites are. Is it a matter of fractions of seconds, or of milliseconds, perhaps? That is far too imprecise. The Galileo system uses atomic clocks that are accurate to the nanosecond. One nanosecond is a billionth of one second. And there is more: "The iodine laser clocks being developed at the DLR Institute of Quantum Technologies will be many times more accurate than other systems," says Felix Huber of the Galileo Competence Center at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR). The more accurately time can be determined, the more accurate this can make navigation on Earth, for example.

Datentransparenz auf lokaler Ebene – mit Softwaretechnologie gegen Covid-19
Forschende am Institut für Softwaretechnologie haben in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Helmholtz-Zentrum für Infektionsforschung (HZI) eine Homepage entwickelt, welche das Infektionsgeschehen bis auf die kommunale Ebene aktuell und detailliert darstellt. Die dort bereitgestellte Information zu dem lokalen Reproduktionswert ist ein wichtiges Hilfsmittel bei der Detektion von lokalen Vorkommen der Mutationen des Corona-Erregers.

Increasing battery and fuel cell power with quantum computing
The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) is conducting research into new materials for more powerful batteries and fuel cells. DLR scientists are now using a quantum computer to simulate electrochemical processes within energy storage systems. This makes it possible to design the materials used in such a way that the performance and energy density of batteries and fuel cells increase significantly.

GitHub, Zenodo und Zotero unterstützen am DLR mitentwickeltes Format für Software-Metadaten zur Zitierung
Moderne Forschung ist ohne Forschungssoftware schlicht undenkbar. Genutzte Software wird jedoch selten in wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten als Quelle zitiert. Jetzt macht die Unterstützung des Citation File Format auf verschiedenen Plattformen korrektes Zitieren von Forschungssoftware problemlos möglich.

Online final workshop of VESTEC - Interactive supercomputing for urgent decisions in crisis situation
The European-funded H2020 project VESTEC (Visual Exploration and Sampling Toolkit for Extreme Computing) will be completed in 2022 after a successful project duration of 3.5 years. At a two-day closing event on February 23 and 24 2022, the international project partners from research and industry will present the software solutions they have developed for the assessment and management of acute crisis scenarios. Keynotes of domain experts will invite for intensive discussions. A panel will conclude the workshop. We cordially invite you to this online event.
