The roof under which we work.
Campus Zeuthen.
CQTA is located on the DESY Campus in Zeuthen, a site renowned for cutting-edge research across fields such as accelerator science, astroparticle and particle physics. Located in the beautiful natural landscape of the Dahme-Spreewald region and just a short distance from Berlin, the campus combines scientific excellence with a calm, inspiring environment. This unique setting makes it a perfect and peaceful home for a quantum hub in Brandenburg, where research and innovation can thrive alongside nature.
DESY. A Helmholtz centre
DESY is one of the world’s leading research centres, advancing fundamental science and enabling innovation across accelerator physics, photon science, particle and astroparticle physics, data science, and more. Within DESY, our work is embedded in DESY Quantum, which brings together activities in quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum materials to foster a coherent and forward-looking quantum ecosystem. As a Helmholtz Centre, DESY is also an active participant in the Helmholtz Quantum Platform, contributing to a nationwide effort to develop scalable quantum technologies and strengthen Germany’s position in the global quantum landscape.
