Infineon and ZuriQ deepen partnership to advance scalable quantum chips
What happened
Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) and ZuriQ AG, a Swiss quantum computing company spun out of ETH Zurich, today announced the expansion of their collaboration to advance scalable quantum computing hardware. The partnership combines ZuriQ's trapped-ion quantum computing architecture with Infineon's expertise in semiconductor manufacturing, advanced packaging, and integrated photonics. Previous development work demonstrated feasibility of the architecture by trapping a 3×3 array of nine individually controlled ions, achieving the largest two-dimensional array of its kind to date; the next step is to scale the technology to significantly larger qubit counts. ZuriQ has developed a natively two-dimensional Penning micro-trap architecture that uses electric and magnetic fields to move ions directly across the chip, avoiding complex junction structures and making it easier to accommodate larger qubit arrays. This is a planned expansion of collaboration and has not been shown to involve any price movement or capacity figures.
