High-Tech Young Talent Award 2026 for MQSC’s CTO Lukas Burgholzer
MQSC’s CTO Lukas Burgholzer has been awarded the High-Tech Young Talent Award 2026 by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and Arts and the Bavarian Academy of Sciences — one of Bavaria’s most prestigious recognitions for outstanding scientific achievement.
Lukas Burgholzer, Co-Founder and CTO of MQSC, has received the High-Tech Young Talent Award 2026 as part of the Bavarian Hightech Awards, presented by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and Arts and the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. The award recognizes outstanding young researchers whose work has made a tangible impact beyond their immediate scientific community.
For Lukas, the recognition reflects years of work on quantum computing software — from his doctoral research at TUM and JKU Linz to the development of open-source tools now used across academia and industry as part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit, and the broader mission of MQSC to bring production-ready quantum software from Munich to the world.
We are incredibly proud of this recognition and grateful to be building something meaningful together.
