IBM, Lockheed Martin Announce Swiss Quantum Innovation Hub at ETH Zurich, Anchored by Switzerland's First IBM Quantum Computer
IBM and Lockheed Martin established a Swiss Quantum Innovation Hub at ETH Zurich through an offset agreement with armasuisse, anchored by Switzerland's first IBM Quantum System Two to be hosted at the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre. IBM will operate the system, which runs its Quantum Nighthawk processor, with deployment targeted for the end of 2026; ETH Zurich will provide Swiss industries, startups, and academia access alongside IBM's cloud-based quantum fleet. The collaboration adds two planned joint development projects -- quantum sensing for navigation and additive manufacturing of metallic alloys -- building on a 10-year IBM-ETH Zurich algorithmic research effort.
