Qtrex Quantum Ltd Announces Cryogenic Chip Carrier Milestone
Qtrex Quantum Ltd (NASDAQ:QTEX) reported that its shares jumped 20% in pre‑market trading on Thursday following the announcement that it had successfully produced a cryogenic chip carrier for quantum processor interfaces using its proprietary manufacturing technology.
The chip carrier was fabricated based on a design supplied by a major U.S. technology company active in quantum computing. This achievement extends QTREX’s Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME) platform into the processor‑interface layer, thereby broadening its role within quantum‑computing architectures.
A cryogenic chip carrier functions to support the quantum processor and to manage signal fan‑out between the processor interface and the cryogenic I/O stack. QTREX’s version employs a Kapton‑class polyimide architecture that is adapted for operation at very low temperatures.
The company highlighted that its single‑build AME process integrates the cryogenic chip carrier and the interconnect structure into a single monolithic architecture. This integration enables conductive pathways, dielectric structures, shielding features, and direct interconnect transitions to be produced together, eliminating the need for separate connectors and manual assembly steps.
"By enabling the cryogenic chip carrier and interconnect structure to be produced within the same single‑build AME architecture, we are expanding our quantum connectivity platform to include processor‑interface functions," said Dagi Ben‑Noon, Chief Executive Officer of QTREX.
QTREX indicated that the next development phase will focus on customer‑specific cryogenic chip carrier designs tailored to individual processor architectures, chip designs, and system‑level requirements. The company plans to present a sample of the chip carrier during private meetings in Boston coinciding with Quantum.Tech World 2026, scheduled for June 25‑26, 2026.
