ZuriQ, a Swiss quantum computing company spun out of ETH Zürich, has raised $25.5 million in a seed round to scale the trapped-ion processors it is building on a new two-dimensional architecture.
The money builds on the $4.2 million pre-seed round the company closed in 2025, and it arrives as ZuriQ pushes to increase the number of qubits its chips can hold.
The round was led by Quantonation, with participation from Forward.one, Extantia, Firgun Ventures, and all of ZuriQ’s previous backers.
It lands in a year of buoyant European quantum investment, a stretch that has also produced the continent’s first publicly listed quantum firm.
