Workshop: Interoperable and Open Quantum Computing Ecosystems

As quantum computing ecosystems become more complex, the question of how their different components will work together is becoming increasingly important. This is a decisive moment: rather than allowing closed structures to emerge that are difficult to open up later, interoperability and open interfaces should be built in from the very beginning. Two levers are particularly important in this context and should be strategically aligned: open-source software and standards.

Against this background, the workshop will bring together representatives from the opensource community, DIN (German Institute for Standardisation) and the broader quantum computing ecosystem to examine existing approaches, discuss the barriers that still hinder wider implementation, and explore how more open and interoperable structures can be advanced proactively.

The session is designed as an interactive format, with the goal to pool expertise, encourage active exchange and develop concrete ideas for how future interfaces in QC ecosystems should be designed.
