An all-Swiss consortium

Fleck: quantum computing for
the life sciences

Fleck is an eight-party all-Swiss consortium that will use quantum computing to address three key application domains: contrast agent discovery; drug design; and brain cancer detection using ultra-low field
(ULF) MR imaging.

The consortium

Three partners from academia and five from industry.

Universität Basel ETH Zürich Université de Fribourg / Universität Freiburg QuantumBasel ZuriQ Phoeniqs Novartis Multiwave Technologies

Our consortium connects quantum information, quantum computing, quantum algorithms, quantum chemistry, computational chemistry, ultra-low field magnetic resonance imaging, computational physics, hardware engineering and quantum-AI IT interface architecture engineering into one project. Find out more about these topics on our Learn page.
