ETHZ-PSI Quantum Computing Hub
ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) established a joint centre for the development of quantum computers in May 2021. Its aim is to advance the realization of quantum computers based on both ion traps and superconducting components.

The ETH Zurich - PSI Quantum Computing Hub’s central aim is to target the technical and scientific challenges on the way to realizing large scale quantum computers based on both superconducting circuits and trapped ions. Under the scientific leadership of ETH professors and Quantum Center members Andreas Wallraff and Jonathan Home, scientists and engineers develop a range of devices that serve as testbeds for the two leading technologies. Their deliberate co-location in a dedicated building amid large scale national research infrastructure on the external page PSI campus in Villigen, Canton of Aargau makes the Hub a unique facility allowing it to leverage synergies across the entire technology space.
