IBM and Lockheed Martin Unveil Quantum Innovation Hub at ETH Zurich
IBM and Lockheed Martin have announced the establishment of a quantum innovation hub at ETH Zurich in Switzerland. The hub will be anchored by Switzerland's first IBM Quantum System Two, which is expected to deliver significant breakthroughs in various fields.
The initiative aims to foster collaboration between Swiss academic institutions, industries, and startups. The IBM Quantum System Two will provide access to essential research infrastructure, enabling the exploration of emerging technology and education of talent needed to support it.
As part of the collaboration, two joint development projects are planned: exploring quantum sensing applications for navigation and improving additive manufacturing of metallic alloys. These projects complement ongoing efforts by IBM and Lockheed Martin across advanced technologies focused on aerospace and defense innovation.
