About ZuriQ
ZuriQ is developing a trapped-ion quantum computer, in which each qubit is encoded in the internal energy states of an individual charged atom held in place by electromagnetic fields. The company describes a three-dimensional architecture that it hopes will let it add qubits while keeping connectivity and accuracy high, and it is working toward silicon chip fabrication. Its website names Infineon among its partners. No large-scale machine has been shown yet. This is quantum hardware, so it sits outside the conventional compute categories this directory mainly covers.
ZuriQ was founded in 2024 and is based in Zurich, Switzerland. It is listed under Quantum Computing. Reported funding is $4.2M seed (Jan 2025).

What ZuriQ works on
Quantum Computing
A quantum computer is a machine that uses the rules of quantum physics to process information. Its basic unit is the qubit. A classical bit is either 0 or 1. A qubit can be in a superposition, a state that combines both, and its measured result is probabilistic.
