The initiative aims to develop a complete European value chain for ion-trap chips, covering design, microfabrication, integration, testing, and validation.CHAMP-ION is bringing together 21 partners across Europe to accelerate industrial-scale production of ion-trap chips, strengthen the European quantum supply chain, and pave the way for the next generation of quantum computing, sensing, communication, and simulation.Photo credit: SAL / Sarina DobernigMay 5th, 2026AQT’s unveils the LYNX Series, a new generation of 19-inch rack-mounted quantum computers that has officially achieved a record-breaking Quantum Volume (QV) of 32768. This sets a new milestone for a universal Quantum Computer that is designed, built, and located in Europe.April 15th, 2026By combining AQT’s powerful trapped-ion quantum computer hardware and easy-to-scale Horizon’s software, the two companies aim to accelerate users’ ability to build real-world quantum applications.March 17th, 2026Through this collaboration, users worldwide gain direct access to AQT's latest trapped-ion quantum technology through an easy-to-use API, significantly lowering the barrier to real-world quantum experimentation.
