The ideal setting for sensitive experiments
The HPQ physics building at ETH Zurich’s Hönggerberg campus is under construction, designed to provide highly stable environments for sensitive experiments, including quantum computing research. The building will feature a six‑storey basement with vibration‑isolated labs, temperature control to 0.01 °C, and modular layouts to accommodate evolving research needs. Construction began in 2010, with the first basement level underway and the first floors expected to be completed by the end of 2024, and the building will house about 500 researchers and 22 professorships by 2030.

The HPQ’s ultra‑stable labs will support Swiss AI research by enabling the development of quantum‑based computing hardware and low‑noise experimental platforms that can accelerate AI algorithm performance.
