Key Terms

additively manufactured electronics, cryogenic interconnects, superconducting materials, dilution cryostats

4 terms

additively manufactured electronics technical

"focused on advancing Additively Manufactured Electronics (AME) for quantum computing infrastructure"

Additively manufactured electronics are electronic components and circuits created by layer-by-layer printing techniques instead of traditional machining or assembly. Think of building a cake where each layer can contain wiring, sensors or conductive traces so a finished part can combine structure and electronics in one piece. For investors, this can cut production time and part counts, enable custom or lightweight designs, and open new product opportunities or cost savings across manufacturing and supply chains.

cryogenic interconnects technical

"focused on advanced micro-system structures for cryogenic quantum interconnects"

Hardware links — such as specialized wires, connectors, cables, and circuit traces — that carry electrical, optical, or microwave signals between components kept at very low (cryogenic) temperatures. They are engineered to preserve signal quality and minimize heat transfer so delicate low-temperature devices can function. Investors care because these components affect the performance, scalability, reliability, and cost of technologies that require cold environments, like superconducting and quantum systems; think of them as well-insulated pipes that move sensitive signals between freezer rooms without warming them.

superconducting materials technical

"including the evaluation of conductive, dielectric and superconducting materials"

Materials that can carry electric current with effectively zero electrical resistance and expel magnetic fields when cooled below a specific critical temperature. Like a frictionless highway for electrons, they can enable much more efficient power transmission, stronger magnets for medical imaging and transportation, and components for quantum computing — qualities that can change cost structures, product capabilities, and market opportunities for companies involved in their development or use.

dilution cryostats technical

"quantum connectivity solutions for dilution cryostats"

A dilution cryostat is a laboratory machine that creates extremely low temperatures—thousandths of a degree above absolute zero—by using a special mixture of helium isotopes. Think of it as a super-powerful freezer that lets researchers test and run delicate technologies such as quantum processors and ultra-sensitive sensors. For investors, access to or development of these systems signals involvement in advanced, capital-intensive technologies with long development cycles and potential for high strategic value.

Ness Ziona, Israel, July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QTREX Launches Quantum Interconnect Research Program with Commercialization Rights to Project-Generated IP

Ness Ziona, Israel, July 27, 2026 – QTREX Quantum Ltd. (Nasdaq: QTEX) ("QTREX" or the "Company") a company focused on advancing Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) for quantum computing infrastructure today announced the launch of a research collaboration with Northeastern University in Massachusetts, focused on advanced micro-system structures for cryogenic quantum interconnects. Pursuant to the collaboration agreement, Northeastern University has agreed to provide QTREX with a first option to negotiate a commercial license to Northeastern-owned or jointly developed intellectual property arising directly from the parties’ joint research (the “Project IP”). The program further expands QTREX’s vertically integrated quantum connectivity platform by adding a structured innovation pipeline alongside the Company’s proprietary materials, advanced manufacturing and cryogenic interconnect capabilities.

The research activities are expected to focus on micro-system structures and interconnect geometries that may support new quantum connectivity architectures, including the evaluation of conductive, dielectric and superconducting materials for cryogenic environments and characterization of fabricated structures under cryogenic conditions. These activities are intended to generate experimental data and technical insights that can strengthen QTREX’s long-term innovation pipeline and inform future quantum connectivity, packaging and processor-interface solutions.

Northeastern University, a leading R1 research university, the highest US research activity designation, with a dedicated quantum research ecosystem anchored by its Quantum Materials and Sensing Institute, brings capabilities in quantum materials, superconducting devices, nanofabrication, advanced characterization and quantum sensing. The research effort will be led by Prof. Benyamin Davaji, whose work in advanced micro-systems, microfabrication and NSF-funded superconducting nanowire detector research provides quantum-relevant expertise directly aligned with QTREX’s structured innovation pipeline.

"Additive manufacturing of electronics and microsystems holds exciting potential to reshape how we approach electrical connectivity—offering a path toward three-dimensional, low-parasitic interconnects with micron-scale precision that could benefit both quantum sensing and quantum computing," said Prof. Benyamin Davaji, Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University.

“We believe that the combination of our proprietary technology platform with the deep scientific knowledge, research infrastructure and years of experience of Northeastern University’s researchers, led by Prof. Benyamin Davaji, creates a powerful foundation for breakthrough developments in quantum interconnect architectures,” said Dagi Ben-Noon, CEO of QTREX. “Our strategy is to build a comprehensive quantum connectivity platform by combining proprietary materials, advanced manufacturing, processor-interface technologies and a continuously expanding innovation pipeline. This program strengthens that strategy by creating a structured pathway to translate academic research and eligible project-generated IP into potential commercial technologies for next-generation quantum systems.”

The program has already commenced, with joint teams from QTREX and Northeastern University beginning to work together to define research objectives, align technical priorities and allocate responsibilities.
