Swiss Quantum Initiative at the Swiss Quantum Days 2025 The Swiss Quantum Initiative (SQI) is actively contributing to the Swiss Quantum Days 2025 in Arosa with three key events: 🔹 An update by Nicolas Gisin, President of the Swiss Quantum Commission (SQC), on the initiative’s achievements, future activities, and challenges. 🔹 A roundtable discussion, led by Nicolas Gisin, bringing together experts from government, industry, politics, and academia to discuss key topics such as talent development and investment in quantum technologies in Switzerland. 🔹 A panel discussion, moderated by Marieke HOOD(GESDA - Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator), featuring Nicole Schaad (Staatssekretariat für Bildung, Forschung und Innovation SBFI), Klaus Ensslin (ETH Zürich), Parisa Fallahi (Basel Precision Instruments GmbH), and Grégoire Ribordy (ID Quantique). The panel will explore international collaboration and the societal impact of quantum technologies, engaging directly with the audience. These events aim to strengthen Switzerland’s quantum ecosystem and to foster dialogue within the community and raise awareness of how quantum advancements both influence and are shaped by international collaboration, political frameworks, and public discourse. #SQD2025 #IYQ2025 #QuantumTech Akademie der Naturwissenschaften Schweiz (SCNAT)

A game changer for Switzerland and Europe! Today we made history at QuantumBasel: The first IonQ quantum computer outside the US has landed here in Switzerland at uptownBasel. The first commercially viable quantum computer: this is the starting point for an exciting journey in technology and innovation. This is not just about hardware. It is about how collaboration opens up unprecedented possibilities, paving the way for breakthroughs in science, business and beyond. Together with IonQ and our powerful ecosystem, we are setting the stage for the next wave of innovation. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned - the future is being written right here. #QuantumComputing #ShapingTomorrow #RevolutionStartsHere #IonQ #QuantumBasel Robby Toole Sonja Andrist Janine Goldiger Claudia Fricker Rajiv Krishnakumar Dr. Julien Baglio Dr. Frederik Flöther Yelena Guryanova Damir Bogdan Nadine Kugler Sophie Peggs Gianluca Libera Jan Mikolon Maximilian Wurzer Matteo Krummenacher Baschi Dürr Thomas Staehelin Hans-Jörg Fankhauser Dina Moy Jane Mazur Margaret Arakawa Rima Alameddine Dean Kassmann Ariel Braunstein Thomas Kramer
