Qambria is tackling a topic that sounds like science fiction to many, but is actually very real: quantum computers. The startup from Steckborn is well-positioned to become a global leader in the field. Qambria has received a funding package worth CHF 18,000 from the Thurgau Startup Network.
Everyone is talking about artificial intelligence, and AI gurus are popping up like mushrooms. Quantum computing, on the other hand, is on very few people’s radar. Yet the potential is enormous: Quantum computers are expected to solve problems that today’s computers cannot handle, such as simulating new materials and medications or optimizing complex processes. While a normal computer performs calculations using zeros and ones, a quantum computer utilizes effects of quantum physics. It’s hard to explain this to laypeople in a way that’s easy to visualize.
The catch: These machines are extremely sensitive; even the tiniest disturbances can cause errors. Researchers and companies around the world—for example, in Silicon Valley—are working to address this.
A Vision for the Future from Steckborn
Every quantum computer needs a conventional computer by its side to detect and correct errors in fractions of a second. Today, this “classical” side often consists of a patchwork of components that were never intended for this task. That comes at the expense of speed and reliability.
This is where Qambria comes in. The team is building the interface between the quantum and classical computers—essentially the conductor that keeps both in sync. The proprietary software coordinates which task runs where. Additional components ensure that data flows back and forth at lightning speed and that errors are corrected immediately.
Qambria does not build quantum computers itself but licenses its technology. It is designed to work with machines from various manufacturers.
Ten Experts, First Pilot Partners
The company was founded in 2025; today, ten people with relevant industry experience are working on the project. The first software modules are already up and running at pilot partners. In the long term, Qambria aims to help quantum computers evolve from laboratory devices into reliable tools, for example in high-performance data centers, where they will work alongside classical supercomputers as accelerators in the future.
“A quantum computer is only as useful as its connection to the existing computing infrastructure. That’s exactly the connection we’re building. Over the next few months, we’ll bring our building blocks to product maturity and bring on additional partners. The funding package from the Thurgau Start-up Network is helping us take these steps quickly and purposefully,” says Dominik Ulmer, founder and CEO of Qambria.
