About

ZuriQ is a Swiss quantum computing company founded in 2024 as an ETH Zurich spinout. It develops a 3D trapped-ion quantum computing architecture that offers improved scalability and connectivity compared with traditional planar ion trap designs. The company emerged from research at ETH Zurich and focuses on advanced ion trap technologies with enhanced qubit connectivity and reduced cross-talk between qubits. ZuriQ's 3D architecture supports more efficient quantum error correction and fault-tolerant quantum computing through better geometric arrangements of trapped ions and improved control systems. The company targets quantum simulation, optimization, and quantum algorithms that benefit from this enhanced connectivity and scalability, contributing to Switzerland's quantum technology ecosystem and European quantum computing initiatives. In January 2025, ZuriQ raised a $4.2M seed round led by Founderful, bringing total funding to $8.4M.
