The recently established quantum technology competence center (QTZ) at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt will provide an important basis for the industrial development of quantum technology. PTB combines internationally recognized, professional competence in the field of quantum metrology and sensor technology with the mission to support industry in metrology as a governmental body. It has the prerequisites to operate and build important infrastructures as required and to offer the necessary services. The central goal of QTZ is to support business - with a special focus on start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises - in the transfer of quantum technology from basic research into application. The QTZ complements the existing research and development skills and services with a focus on the evolving needs of the economy and active technology transfer.
