The Rohde & Schwarz technology group has acquired Zurich Instruments, a technological leader in test and measurement, to further expand its test and measurement division with quantum computing portfolio.
The Swiss company Zurich Instruments will be run as a full subsidiary.
Zurich Instruments offers cutting-edge test and measurement systems to scientific and industrial research customers. The company has over 100 employees at its Zurich headquarters and regional offices in China, the USA, France, South Korea, Japan and Italy. In addition to quantum technology, Zurich Instruments has a strong network and extensive experience in academic physics research.
The test and measurement market for quantum computing holds enormous potential for both companies. Operating and maintaining a large-scale quantum computer requires numerous, specific T&M solutions. Thanks to their complementary products, Rohde & Schwarz and Zurich Instruments will provide complete solutions in the future.

Dr. Sadik Hafizovic, Co-founder and CEO of Zurich Instruments
The size, stability and technological expertise of Rohde & Schwarz offer optimal conditions for us to remain a leader in the rapidly growing quantum computing market and continue to grow as an independent subsidiary.
