About
QuantWare is a superconducting quantum computing company, a TU Delft and QuTech spinout founded in 2020 by Dr. Alessandro Bruno and Matthijs Rijlaarsdam. It became the first company to commercially manufacture superconducting quantum processors for third parties, offering off-the-shelf QPUs such as the 5-qubit Soprano and the 25-qubit Contralto. Its foundry services let customers build full-stack quantum computers at one-tenth the cost of competing solutions, and total funding exceeds $230 million. In March 2025, QuantWare raised $20M in Series A funding, co-led by the Invest-NL Deep Tech Fund and Innovation Quarter, with participation from the EIC Fund and FORWARD.one, to accelerate its VIO technology. VIO routes connections vertically in 3D to solve scaling bottlenecks, with the goal of superconducting processors that scale to thousands of qubits and potentially millions in a single processor. The Series A was later extended to $27M, and in May 2026 QuantWare raised a $178M Series B led by Intel Capital, the largest private round raised by a dedicated quantum processor company. In December 2025, QuantWare unveiled the VIO-40K QPU, scalable to 10,000 qubits, a 100x leap in scalability over prior products. In November 2025, QuantWare, Q-CTRL, and Qblox launched the Quantum Utility Block, a pre-integrated superconducting quantum computing system that combines QuantWare's processors, Qblox's control electronics, and Q-CTRL's performance software for rapid deployment. In September 2025, QuantWare and C-DAC signed a Letter of Intent to co-develop hybrid quantum computing technologies. In October 2025, the company expanded into South Korea, powering the ETRI quantum computer and becoming the largest quantum processor supplier in Korea. In February 2026, QuantWare opened its foundry services to external customers, allowing third parties to fabricate superconducting quantum chips at a fraction of the traditional cost.
