QUDORA Technologies GmbH and Technische Universität Braunschweig have announced a strategic partnership for a three-year research and development initiative called the QuSTAC project. The €12 million ($14 million USD) collaboration is funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung and targets the development of a hybrid architecture for ion-trap quantum processors.
The QuSTAC architecture aims to integrate precision semiconductor electronics directly into the quantum processor chip alongside QUDORA’s NFQC (Near Field Quantum Control) technology. The project’s objective is to deliver a quantum processor prototype with at least 100 qubits and multiple parallel computation registers. This integrated approach is intended to reduce complexity, improve stability, and provide a pathway to thousands of qubits.
The project is a long-term partnership between two members of the Quantum Valley Lower Saxony ecosystem. The collaboration is positioned to strengthen the regional quantum backbone and advance Germany’s position in quantum technology innovation. The resulting quantum computers will be provided via cloud access for scientific and industrial applications.
