Briefings

Infineon Technologies and ZuriQ AG expanded their partnership to scale ZuriQ's two-dimensional trapped-ion quantum computing architecture. The companies previously demonstrated a 3x3 array of nine individually controlled ions and will now work toward larger qubit arrays using semiconductor manufacturing. ZuriQ's Penning micro-trap architecture moves ions across a chip using electric and magnetic fields, while Infineon provides expertise in advanced packaging and integrated photonics. The partnership aims to transition from laboratory demonstration to real-world applications by combining design expertise with industrial manufacturing capabilities.

Key points

• Infineon and ZuriQ expanded their collaboration to scale ZuriQ's two-dimensional trapped-ion quantum computing architecture.
• The companies previously demonstrated a 3x3 array of nine individually controlled ions and will now work toward larger qubit arrays.

Context

ZuriQ is a Swiss quantum computing company spun out of ETH Zurich, while Infineon is a global semiconductor leader. The partnership combines ZuriQ's pioneering trapped-ion architecture with Infineon's semiconductor manufacturing expertise to advance scalable quantum hardware.

Limitations

Evidence covers only the announcement of the partnership and the previous 3x3 ion array demonstration. Specific dates for the scaling phase are not provided, and no data on qubit counts, manufacturing yields, or commercial deployment timelines is available.
