  • QSea I

    A 10-qubit quantum computer demonstrator based on ion trap technology

  • QSea II

    We are building a modular and scalable quantum computer based on stored ion qubits.

  • Ion trap quantum computers from Hamburg: Kick-off with Universal Quantum

    We are pleased to welcome our industrial partner Universal Quantum to the Innovationszentrum Hamburg and thus also to the QCI: Over the next four years, Universal Quantum will build two…

  • Legato

    Building a fully scalably trapped-ion quantum computer with four chip modules

  • Toccata

    A user-friendly, reliable and scalable quantum processor with at least 50 qubits

  • XAPHIRO

    Developing a microfabricated quantum computer prototype with at least 50 fully functional qubits.

  • Startups and companies develop quantum computers based on ion traps

    Charged atoms cannot escape from an ion trap, as they are confined by an electromagnetic field. A laser, radio waves or microwaves can then change the state of the charged…

  • Call for pro­pos­als to de­sign quan­tum pro­ces­sors based on ion trap tech­nol­o­gy

    Qubits based on ion traps are are a promising approach for quantum computing technology. The goal of this outreach is to procure ion quantum processor prototypes. As part of DLR’s…
