About qendra
From the lab bench
to your lab.
qendra builds control systems for trapped-ion and neutral-atom quantum computers. We turn scientific prototypes into products: born in the trapped ion quantum information group of Prof. Jonathan Home at ETH Zurich, built for every lab that needs them.
- generations of control systems

- qubit platforms: ions and atoms

Our story
Three generations in the making.
Every lab knows the problem: control systems that are slow, incomplete or unreliable hold the science back. We spent years building and running them inside a research group, and qendra exists to replace them for good.
- 01
DDS chips
The first home-built systems: direct digital synthesis for frequency and phase control.
- 02
High-speed DACs
Arbitrary waveforms at high sample rates for more complex sequences.
- 03
Integrated RFSoCs
Today's platform: RF generation, readout and logic on one chip, ready for the lab.
The founders
Physicists who build
what they needed.
Dr. Martin Stadler
CEO & CTO
The visionary with the knowledge in quantum physics and electrical engineering to make control systems work. Martin did his PhD in Prof. Home's group, maintained its home-built control systems and helped develop the next generation. In late 2024 he received the ETH Pioneer Fellowship to bring them to market.
Dr. Ferdinand Felder
COO & CFO
The pragmatic, down-to-earth fact checker of Martin's crazy ideas. Ferdinand holds a PhD in laser physics, has founded and exited a spin-off before, and still rolls up his sleeves for development work.
Chidzahi Mabritto
Deputy CTO
The bright future of technical development at qendra, with an Italian attitude towards handling setbacks and a Swiss attitude towards engineering.
Advisor and shareholders
Prof. Dr. Jonathan Home
Advisor and shareholder
Jonathan leads the Trapped Ion Quantum Information group at ETH Zurich, where research spans quantum error correction, trapped-ion chips, bosonic qubits, Penning traps and control systems. He brings more than 20 years of trapped-ion experience, a postdoc with D. J. Wineland and a PhD from Oxford.
Shareholder
ETH Zurich
qendra is a spin-off of ETH Zurich, which holds a stake in the company.
Big ideas, real impact.
We build the infrastructure so that quantum computing companies and researchers can focus on their science, not their control system.
