About
QUDORA Technologies is a German quantum computing company that spun out of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB), Germany's national metrology institute, in Braunschweig in 2021. It builds trapped-ion systems, confining ions in electromagnetic traps and manipulating them with precisely tuned signals. Its Near Field Quantum Control (NFQC) technology uses on-chip microwave electronics made through standard semiconductor processes, with a focus on industrial scalability. The approach allows room-temperature operation, which reduces infrastructure costs compared with superconducting circuits. QUDORA secured a 42 million euro contract from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to build its 50-qubit Xaphiro quantum computer, with a roadmap targeting 200 qubits by 2027. The company recently trapped its first single ions at the DLR Innovation Centre in Hamburg and launched Qamelion, a quantum emulator with adaptive noise modelling for algorithm development. In September 2025, QUDORA announced a collaboration with South Korean research institutions to set up quantum computing research centres in Seoul and Daejeon. In October 2025, it partnered with Kensho, a Taiwanese distributor, to advance quantum computing commercialization in Taiwan's precision-manufacturing sector. In March 2026, QUDORA's QVLS-iLabs industry cluster received 15 million euros from the German Federal Government's Clusters4Future initiative in its second funding phase, supporting application-oriented quantum computing and quantum metrology research. Update 2026-05-28: QUDORA Technologies has launched a new subsidiary named QUDORA Japan K.K. to expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific quantum computing market.
