Trapeons, South Korea's first ion-trap quantum computing startup, will launch in late 2026. The company plans to leverage its chip fabrication technology and Korea's established semiconductor infrastructure to out-iterate competitors like IonQ and Quantinuum, targeting a 128-qubit product by 2029.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Quantum Computing.

◆ The Wire takeaway

South Korea's new quantum firm is using existing chip fabs to iterate faster than western rivals. This distributed production model is a direct challenge to any deep tech hardware company relying on slow, vertically-integrated manufacturing.
