Commercial quantum
computers based on
ion trap technology.

Mission

QUDORA is a German startup based in Braunschweig and Hannover that builds and commercializes fully operational quantum computers as well as stand-alone quantum processors based on ion trap technology. 

Quantum computers hold the promise of outperforming today’s supercomputers within the next decade, offering solutions to some of the world’s most challenging problems by leveraging the unparallel capabilities of quantum mechanics. 

In collaboration with our partners, we are committed to delivering bespoke quantum technology solutions to clients worldwide, driving innovation and transformation across diverse industries.

Technology

Ion traps belong to the most promising hardware architectures to finish the global race of building a practical quantum computer. Compared to other quantum hardware architectures, trapped ion qubits offer the key advantages of record-high process fidelities for all elementary quantum operations, mild operation temperatures, and storage times on several minutes. These features make ion qubits the ideal candidate for hybrid computations. 

In QUDORA’s quantum processors, we combine these advantages with a unique qubit control mechanism that utilizes convenient and highly integrable microwave electronics instead of bulky and complex laser systems. This approach, pioneered first by our co-founders, is compatible with standard semiconductor processes, paving the way to scalable quantum processors beyond 1,000s of qubits.

QUDORA and NXP win €42m contract with German Aerospace Center to build 50-qubit quantum computer

QUDORA Technologies GmbH and NXP Semiconductors GmbH have signed a €42m contract with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) to develop and operate a powerfull quantum computer in Hamburg. At the heart of the so-called XAPHIRO system is a 50-qubit quantum processor developed by QUDORA while NXP Semiconductors provides a specially developed photon detector based on Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The project also focuses on the development of a suitable platform that is accessible for different user groups and features a user-friendly interface. https://qci.dlr.de/en/xaphiro/ https://qci.dlr.de/en/project-xaphiro-kick-off-for-the-ion-trap-consortium-qudora-x-nxp-at-the-innovation-center-hamburg/
