Big Tech company does not sleep on quantum chips: Amazon Web Services introduced ocelot; Microsoft, Majora; and Google, pasture. Although all of this can be regarded as breakthroughs, quantum startups often focus on more practical progress – and they make progress.
Founded in 2020, Dutch startup Quantity Is one of them that claims that the hardware that it produces already supplies quantum computers for customers in 20 countries. The core offer, vertical integration and optimization or the VIO focuses on scaling bottlenecks in quantum processing units (QPUS).
Each in the Quantum Computing field strives for more qubits, the quantum equivalent of Bits-and the integration of more quBITs into a single chip is more powerful and less prone to errors than combining several smaller systems. Quantware’s proprietary 3D chip architecture, Vio, “is the missing link in the scaling of QPUS“Consistent with his CEO Matthijs Rijlaarsdam.
A Spinout from TU Delft and his connected research institute Quantech, Quantwave, now has a series A of 20 million euros (approx. 19.27 million US previously secured From the European Innovation Council after his 6 million € seed round (The remaining part is a grant).
Apart from European financing, this all-equity round was jointly directed by the Dutch state unit in Invest-NL Deep Tech Fund and the Regional Economic Development Agency Innovation Quarter, which as the top runner in consolidated The growing quantum ecosystem of the Netherlands of the Netherlands.
The new funds are used to scale the team and the technology of quantity, which was recently updated: In February the startup announced that it would accept pre -orders For Alto-AHis first QPU for the quantum error correction.
While Google’s willow processor brought a quantum error correction into the spotlight, quantity aims at a roadmap-focused strategy. It is designed for upgrading for larger Vio-powered QPUs and endowed AA Right to fame is that “it is almost twice the size of competing solutions that are available in stores”.
Large technology companies are also involved in the race to see who has the biggest QPUS with the most qubits. From the perspective of startups, which does not survive for long without income, it is also about making quantum hardware commercially accessible for everyone – sooner than later.
At this front, Quantware follows two paths: distribution of their own designed QPUs and enables other companies to use their technology through their foundry and packaging services. The new financing is also used in these two directions – the development of VIOS and the structure of its chip manufacturing systems.
In addition to research institutes, users include several well-financed quantum start-ups such as Alice & Bob, which have recently been applied $ 104 million. Two of them – quantum machines that have been raised 170 million US dollars last monthAnd SeeqcWhat announced 30 million US dollars of new funds in January – are too Work Together with the Dutch startup for the development of technology and products.
It is still too early to say which of these companies, if available, is being developed a quantum architecture that can deliver one million qubits. Microsoft is also in this race and and and and estimated That his announcement by majorana brings this horizon “within years, not in decades”.
Rijlaararsdam told Techcrunch, the ability to solve meaningful problems in the industrial level.
“There is a large and valuable class of problems that even a gigawatt ai cluster cannot solve – but quantum computers will do it,” he said. “That is why we build these systems. Some examples include calculations on quantum systems, such as
But for quantity, what believes in Quantum -open architectureThe question is not who will build these millions of qubit systems. With VIO it just wants to contribute to happening quickly.
