About
ETH Zurich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, is a public research university founded in 1855 in Zurich, Switzerland. Its quantum research spans quantum computing, quantum information, quantum materials, and quantum technologies, with the university's Quantum Center bringing together researchers from physics, engineering, and computer science. ETH researchers contribute to quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, superconducting qubits, and quantum processors. The university has produced a number of quantum technology spinouts and maintains strong industry partnerships. Through fundamental research, education, and technology transfer, ETH Zurich helps anchor Swiss leadership in quantum information science. In January 2026, ETH Zurich's Wallraff group, with the Paul Scherrer Institute, demonstrated the first lattice surgery on superconducting qubits, published in Nature Physics. In March 2026, ETH Zurich and IBM launched a ten-year initiative on algorithms for the AI and quantum era.
