Rhonexum will supply cryogenic integrated-circuit technologies and customization services, and ZuriQ will evaluate how each solution can advance its trapped-ion quantum computing roadmap. The framework also covers future orders, product deployments and technical collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agreement has already led to a first order of Rhonexum&#8217;s inaugural product, scheduled for delivery by the end of 2026. It also gives ZuriQ privileged access to selected Rhonexum technologies, while ZuriQ&#8217;s feedback will help shape Rhonexum&#8217;s future products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reducing the wiring behind each qubit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The collaboration targets a key challenge in scaling quantum computers: the number of control signals per qubit that run from room-temperature sources into cryogenic environments. ZuriQ&#8217;s architecture uses electric and magnetic fields to create reconfigurable two-dimensional qubit arrays, and Rhonexum&#8217;s cryogenic electronics are intended to support denser arrays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 2025 in Lausanne by Vicente Carbon and Dr. Hung-Chi Han as a spin-off of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epfl.ch\/labs\/aqua\/\">AQUA Lab<\/a> at EPFL, Rhonexum is based at the <a href=\"https:\/\/epfl-innovationpark.ch\/\">EPFL Innovation Park<\/a>. ZuriQ is a Zurich-based company that spun out of Professor Jonathan Home&#8217;s lab at <a href=\"https:\/\/ethz.ch\/en.html\">ETH Zurich<\/a> in 2024. &#8220;Partnering with ZuriQ validates the relevance of our technology,&#8221; says Vicente Carbon, CEO of Rhonexum. Pavel Hrmo, CEO of ZuriQ, notes that collaboration across the Swiss quantum ecosystem is becoming increasingly important to accelerate industrial adoption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lausanne-based Rhonexum, a 2025 spin-off of EPFL, will supply cryogenic integrated circuits to quantum computing company ZuriQ under a
