QuantWare is Building the World’s Most Powerful Quantum Processors at an Industrial Scale

QuantWare, hyper-scaling quantum computers with our VIO™ 3D scaling architecture, led by Matthijs Rijlaarsdam, Alessandro Bruno, and the team, has raised a $178 million (€152 million) Series B equity funding following the announcement of VIO-40K™, a quantum processor architecture for 10,000 qubits, 100x larger than the state of the art today. New investors joining the round include Intel Capital, IQT, and ETF Partners, with existing investors participating, including FORWARD.one and Invest-NL Deep Tech Fund, InnovationQuarter Capital, Ground State Ventures, and Graduate Ventures.

The company is developing KiloFab, positioned as the world’s largest dedicated quantum open-architecture fab, designed to increase production capacity by 20x in response to growing global customer demand.

QuantWare is a vertically integrated quantum computing company that designs, fabricates, and integrates modular quantum processors on an open architecture at industrial scale.

Its proprietary VIO™ technology, a modular quantum processor architecture, enables the development of high-performance quantum processors optimized for maximum compute per watt.

QuantWare’s VIO™ platform is designed as an open architecture that allows third parties to scale qubit chiplets and designs, enabling more powerful quantum processing units (QPUs) across the industry. The company supports the global quantum supply chain through QPU design, foundry services, and chiplet packaging, helping other quantum computing firms scale on its architecture.

To date, QuantWare has shipped to over 50 customers across 20 countries, making it the world’s largest commercial QPU supplier by volume, serving quantum companies, national institutes, and major global technology firms.

“In superconducting quantum computing, scale is increasingly limited by routing, packaging, and manufacturability rather than just qubit design,” said Kike Miralles of Intel Capital. “QuantWare identified this early and built VIO to address it, positioning the company as a foundational layer for future superconducting quantum systems.”

“Building a global compute hardware company requires immense ambition. The QuantWare team has that drive, and with its VIO technology, it is positioned to lead the high-growth quantum industry. As an early backer, continued support reflects confidence in what is now the world’s largest funding round for a dedicated quantum processor company,” said Robin van Boxsel of FORWARD.one.

“Quantum computing is approaching an inflection point and has become a strategic priority for nations worldwide,” said J.D. Englehart of IQT. “QuantWare combines breakthrough scaling technology in VIO with industrial capability through KiloFab, positioning it to play a key role in the global quantum supply chain.”

“The promise of quantum computing, capable of solving humanity’s intractable challenges, depends on manufacturing and deployment at scale,” said Matt Rijlaarsdam of QuantWare. “VIO-40K will enable 10,000-qubit processors on an open architecture for the broader ecosystem, while KiloFab provides the industrial capacity to meet rising global demand. This fundraise accelerates QuantWare and advances the ecosystem toward hyperscale quantum computing.”
