SaxonQ, a pioneer in mobile quantum computing, and Quantum Machines, known for their advanced hybrid quantum-classical control platforms, announced a breakthrough demonstration at Hannover Messe 2025. For the first time, applications such as quantum chemical calculations and real-time image recognition were run live on SaxonQ´s portable, room-temperature quantum computer, directly showcasing its potential outside controlled laboratory environments.
The standout feature of SaxonQ’s device is its ability to operate in real-world industrial settings without the need for cryogenic cooling, a significant technical leap over conventional quantum systems. The demonstration was made possible through the integration of Quantum Machines’ sophisticated control solutions, which enable robust, on-site quantum operations. According to Dr. Frank Schlichting, CEO of SaxonQ, this event underscores the reliability and flexibility of their technology, marking a major step toward mainstream adoption of quantum computing in manufacturing and other industrial applications.
The event not only highlighted quantum-based chemical simulations—such as energy level calculations for hydrogen molecules—but also illustrated the feasibility of real-time, quantum-powered image recognition. These practical examples signal an emerging new class of portable quantum devices capable of advancing on-the-go Artificial Intelligence, complex simulations, and optimization tasks in diverse industries. With their plug-and-play approach, SaxonQ and Quantum Machines have paved the way for broader, more accessible industrial quantum computing.
