Trapped ion

Organisations tagged trapped ion. 9 records use this tag. A company can carry more than one.

Alpine Quantum Technologies

Innsbruck, Austria

Company-asserted LYNX: quantum volume 32,768 claimed as a European industry record. Piast-Q: 20 data qubits

Rack-mount trapped-ion systems, including the LYNX series. Supplier of Piast-Q, the EuroHPC system in Poland (20 data qubits). No US office; cloud and partner access only.

eleQtron

Siegen, Germany

Trapped ions using the MAGIC approach. The JION system at Forschungszentrum Jülich via JUNIQ was a 2026 milestone, with HiQ integration alongside JURECA. Collaborates with Infineon on ion-trap QPUs.

Infineon Technologies

Munich / Villach / Dresden, Germany

Industrial fabrication of ion-trap QPUs and related semiconductor processes. Partnerships include a historical Min-Ion effort with Oxford Ionics, and work with eleQtron. Not a standalone quantum-cloud brand.

IonQ

College Park, MD, United States

Trapped-ion systems (Forte, Tempo) with high two-qubit fidelities claimed. Acquisitions cited include Oxford Ionics (about September 2025), Lightsynq, Capella, and a reported SkyWater/Nexus deal in 2026. Also took a controlling stake in ID Quantique (completed about 30 April 2025).

Open Quantum Design

Waterloo, ON, Canada

Open-source trapped-ion full stack, based in Waterloo.

Oxford Ionics

Oxford, United Kingdom

Trapped ions on semiconductor chips (electronic qubit control). IonQ’s acquisition, about $1.075 billion, is described as the largest UK quantum exit. The team remains an IonQ chip-development centre, with an NQCC testbed.

Quantinuum

Broomfield, CO; Cambridge, UK, United States

Reported Trackers cite ~48 logical qubits (Nov 2025); methodologies differ

Trapped-ion H-series and Helios, plus TKET. Honeywell was reported as the largest shareholder after the listing (about 48% voting power; about $1.7 billion raised reported). A Singapore R&D and operations centre opened in 2026; Helios onshore deployment was described as later in 2026 and not confirmed live at cutoff. Profiled under the US for the listing, with UK heritage called out in the Europe brief.

Quantum Art

Ness Ziona / Rehovot area, Israel

Trapped-ion hardware with government contracts and adjacency to the Weizmann Institute. Earlier-stage than Israel’s control and software leaders, and treated as credible in the brief.

Universal Quantum

Brighton / Sussex, United Kingdom

Modular trapped ions linked by electric fields. Holds a DLR hardware contract in Germany. In September 2026, a Singapore EDBI research centre of about S$30 million was announced.
