NEUBIBERG/ BROOMFIELD — Quantinuum is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Infineon Technologies AG to advance the development of next-generation ion traps for quantum computing. This collaboration is set to drive the future of quantum computing and accelerate progress in critical areas such as generative chemistry, material science, and artificial intelligence.
The partnership will combine Quantinuum’s expertise in ion-trap design and operational excellence with Infineon’s world-class capabilities in process development, fabrication, and quantum processing unit (QPU) technology. This combination aims to push the boundaries of quantum computing, allowing for larger, more powerful systems that address real-world problems.
“We are excited to partner with Infineon, a global leader in semiconductor technology, to accelerate the development of powerful quantum machines,” said Dr. Rajeeb Hazra, President and CEO of Quantinuum. “This collaboration is key to advancing our roadmap, which includes reaching universal fault-tolerance by 2029. Together, we can significantly enhance the scalability and fidelity of our systems, bringing us closer to delivering the next generation of quantum computing.”
Quantinuum’s trapped-ion quantum computers are already world leaders in key performance benchmarks such as 2-qubit gate fidelity, quantum volume, and cross-entropy benchmark fidelity. With Infineon’s support, Quantinuum aims to further improve these metrics by developing more sophisticated and scalable ion traps, ensuring that the next generation of quantum systems can meet the demands of large-scale applications.
This partnership marks a significant step toward achieving the goal of universal fault-tolerance and solidifies Quantinuum’s position at the forefront of quantum computing innovation. By combining the strengths of both companies, this collaboration promises to transform the future of quantum computing and unlock groundbreaking solutions for industries worldwide.
