The Zurich Think Lab is the door to IBM Research in Europe and makes what’s next in computing actionable for clients. It offers a stimulating environment to explore future technologies and their transformative impact on business and society. The Think Lab brings together clients and researchers to discuss how AI, hybrid cloud, security, quantum computing, and accelerated discovery can transform their businesses. The Think Lab is co-located with the IBM Research Zurich lab, home to two Nobel Prizes and the unique noise-free labs for cutting-edge research in materials science and nanotechnology.
We are developing next generation Data and AI technologies for solving tough business and societal problems such as accelerating the discovery of new materials, understanding climate impact, scaling AI in business workflows, and cost/performance optimization of data intensive applications.
An LLM-Powered System for Enterprise Data
Towards a composable, hybrid cloud data platform
Creating the AI-enabled lab for a new era of reproducible and collaborative experimentation
In the Hybrid Cloud Research department we drive innovation in the infrastructure for hybrid cloud, focusing on cutting-edge AI as well as storage technologies.
We are creating technologies that aim to seamlessly, and inherently, protect classical and next generation computing systems and allow them to stay ahead of attackers. We are designing and implementing worldwide leading innovations of the next generation of cryptography, hardware powered security, robustness of AI against adversarial attacks, decentralized trust systems (incl. Central Bank Digital Currencies), as well as system and software security analysis.
Securing AI models with the Adversarial Robustness Toolbox
Helping businesses to migrate to quantum safe cryptography
Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy.
Developing technologies for computing tomorrow’s AI.
Developing solutions to execute computing tasks in complex chemical systems used as information-processing units.
The Binnig and Rohrer Nanotechnology Center provides a cutting-edge, collaborative infrastructure designed specifically for advancing nanoscience. It hosts cleanroom space, which is jointly operated with ETH Zurich, as well as offices and dry labs. Additionally, six noise-free labs designed by IBM provide a new level of accuracy for fabricating and characterizing at the true 1-nanometer level and beyond.
