About this report
In the heart of Germany’s industrial heartland, a small company is quietly making history. eleQtron GmbH, a spin-off from the University of Siegen founded in 2020, has built Germany’s first operational quantum computer.
Specializing in trapped-ion quantum processors, this deep-tech venture has transformed years of academic research into a tangible computing machine – one that runs without the usual tangle of lasers, using a patented radio-frequency method instead. In doing so, eleQtron addresses a strategic imperative for Europe: developing home-grown quantum technology that can power tomorrow’s secure communications, advanced simulations, and defense systems.
Key questions this report answers
- How does eleQtron's trapped-ion quantum processor work using its patented radio-frequency method instead of lasers?
