The partners are also continuing to work on the DLR group's software module. There is also a focus on software for compiling and error suppression in computing processes. Among other things, software is to be further developed to support the creation of new quantum computer algorithms. This cooperation will now be strengthened. DLR and NASA have been conducting joint research on quantum computing since 2016. There are many similarities with DLR's research goals and use cases,' says Tobias Stollenwerk, head of the Quantum Computing Research Group at the DLR Institute for Software Technology in Cologne.

'As one of the first and world-leading research groups for application-oriented quantum computing research, NASA's research group, the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (QuAIL), is an attractive cooperation partner for DLR. The cooperation was agreed in January 2022. NASA and DLR are now developing further modules and will subsequently make them available as open-source software.

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. 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 German Aerospace Center (DLR) is the national aeronautics and space research centre of the Federal Republic of Germany.
