EniQmA at the QUEST-IS’25 Conference in Paris
On December 3, Univ. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Nikolay V. Tcholtchev will present our paper “EniQmA – Enabling Hybrid Quantum Applications” at the QUEST-IS’25 (Quantum Engineering Sciences & Technology for Industry & Services) conference in Paris.
The talk introduces EniQmA as a framework for the development, deployment, and operation of hybrid quantum-classical applications. The goal is to structure the development process and to establish consistent procedures and quality standards. EniQmA combines domain-specific toolchains with DevOps practices for quantum computing, forming a unified software engineering approach for hybrid quantum applications.
A particular focus is on accessibility: Through its low-code and no-code components, EniQmA enables both classical software developers and domain experts without deep quantum or programming knowledge to model and integrate initial quantum workflows.

EniQmA at the Tech Days in Munich
EniQmA took part in the Tech Days in Munich and presented the Quantum DevOps tools as well as the use cases developed within the project. At our booth, Dr. Sebastian Senge, Michael Holzki, and Dominik Heldwein engaged in discussions with visitors about the challenges and opportunities of quantum computing.
In his presentation, Dr. Sebastian Senge explained how the EniQmA toolchain structures and simplifies the development process for quantum applications. The aim is to make quantum computing accessible to a broader group of users. The tools enable classical software developers to integrate quantum workflows into existing DevOps processes without requiring deep expert knowledge. Additionally, a no-code tool allows domain experts without programming experience to model and experiment with initial quantum applications. In a short video, Dr. Senge also introduced one of the use cases investigated in the project.
Visit EniQmA at the Digital Technology Days in Berlin
We are excited to welcome you on October 7th and 8th at the Digital Technology Days in Berlin. Join us at our booth to discuss the potential of Quantum Computing with experts from Deutsche Bahn and Accenture, and learn how to harness it effectively. We will also be showcasing the Quantum DevOps Tools from our project, enabling end-to-end quantum application development for everyone.
Panel Discussion at AFQC
During the AFQC on May 14, 2024 in Stuttgart, Colin Becker represented EniQmA in the panel discussion titled “Yes, it’s about time we talk about standards and benchmarks!”. The session highlighted the necessity of vendor-independent benchmarking and standardization for the development of quantum applications.

EniQmA at Hannovermesse 2024
Join EniQmA from April 15th to 22nd at Hannover Messe (Hall 2, Stand B24). We present an accessible entry into quantum application development and introduce the necessary tools for Quantumdevops. These tools empower traditional DevOps teams to leverage quantum computing. Discover how we streamline and scale quantum application development. Meet us to discuss how to prepare for the quantum era.
EniQmA at the Digital Gipfel in Jena on November 20, 2023
As part of the “Markt der digitalen Möglichkeiten” we will be showcasing our EniQmA toolbox alongside the PlanQk platform. In our talk we will present a solution to alleviate the shortage of quantum computing experts and explain how our tools can provide an easy entry point into quantum computing for medium-sized businesses that may not have extensive quantum computing teams. We achieve this by using our tools to reduce the complexity of quantum application development and make it scalable.
EniQmA at the European Quantum Technology Conference
Visit Fraunhofer FOKUS representatives at the EQTC Conference (European Quantum Technology Conference) in Hannover, Germany, and learn more about the latest developments in the Qompiler and EniQmA projects, which are funded by BMWK.
You can discuss with us the latest EniQmA research results on quality assurance, testing and benchmarking. You will find us in the foyer at booth F10. We are looking forward to your visit.
EniQmA at the Quantum Industry Summit
On Oct. 10, 2023, results of the EniQmA project were presented at the Quantum Industry Summit of the Quantum Business Network (QBN). Raphael Seidel – senior scientist at Fraunhofer FOKUS – presented the current EniQmA activities in the area of Quantum Benchmarking and Testing during a presentation with the title “Benchmarking of Gate-Based QPUs with Applications in Quantum Software Engineering”.
The key messages of the talk were:
- Benchmarking is important to estimate the performance of applications but also to compare different Quantum Processing Unit vendors.
- It is important to benchmark elementary parts of the software stack as well as end-to-end applications.
- The results of the benchmarks are used in the EniQmA DevOps live cycle for various steps.
EniQmA tools and use cases for hybrid quantum computing
The research team of the EniQmA project has reached a first milestone and has developed a tool landscape for hybrid quantum computing and the use cases to test it.
The aim of the EniQmA project is to alleviate the complexity of hybrid quantum computing. To achieve this, the research team is developing a series of tools designed to simplify, standardize, and partially automate the DevOps process in hybrid quantum computing. These tools assist companies in unlocking the doors to the world of quantum computing and harnessing the potentials of this technology more easily. Now, an overview of EniQmA tools to enable efficient hybrid quantum software development and deployment has been prepared.
Furthermore, three use cases are being developed to both test the newly designed EniQmA tools and to identify potentially interesting applications for quantum computing, as well as to further develop the necessary algorithms.
