Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT) builds trapped-ion quantum computers, leveraging decades of pioneering research from the University of Innsbruck, where co-founder Rainer Blatt helped establish the trapped-ion approach as one of the leading qubit architectures. The company's rack-mountable quantum processors represent a European-sovereign path to quantum computing, independent of the superconducting qubit ecosystems dominated by IBM and Google. AQT's work is strategically vital as Europe seeks to maintain competitiveness in quantum computing, a technology with profound implications for cryptography, materials science, and national security.
