Infineon and ZuriQ expand quantum chip partnership

Infineon Technologies and Zurich-based startup ZuriQ are deepening their partnership to scale a new kind of quantum chip using a two-dimensional trapped-ion design. Their joint work already demonstrated a 3x3 grid of nine individual ion qubits—the largest array of its kind. Now, Infineon’s industrial chip-making and ZuriQ’s quantum know-how aim to push this hardware toward higher qubit counts by relying on standard semiconductor tools and integrated photonics.

Why it mattersManufacturing larger, more stable quantum chips is a major roadblock for practical quantum computing. This collaboration tackles scaling with mainstream semiconductor techniques, inching quantum hardware closer to real-world use in materials research, logistics, and medicine.
