World’s First 10,000-Qubit Processor Shatters Boundaries in Quantum Computing
QuantWare has unveiled the groundbreaking VIO-40K processor in the field of quantum computing. This 10,000-qubit chip design surpasses the scale limits previously thought possible. The target for delivery is 2028.
QuantWare has announced its next-generation processor, which eliminates the scaling problem long viewed as a difficult obstacle in quantum computing. The VIO-40K is built on the company’s groundbreaking QPU (Quantum Processor Unit) scaling architecture, VIOTM, and boasts a capacity of 10,000 qubits (10 KiloQubits). Although it is 100 times larger and significantly more powerful than any quantum processor currently on the market, it is offered in a smaller package than existing systems.
Industry Context: Over the last decade, the quantum sector has been forced to keep QPU sizes stagnant at around 100 qubits. While Google’s quantum chips increased from 53 to 105 qubits in six years, and IBM introduced a 120-qubit QPU design, industry roadmaps suggest this size will remain the standard device size until 2028. This limitation stems from hardware scaling bottlenecks, forcing companies to build large systems by connecting smaller QPUs via networks.
QuantWare Claims to Break Barriers The VIO-40K overcomes this bottleneck using QuantWare’s 3D scaling architecture. The system is supported by 40,000 I/O lines and consists entirely of chiplet modules. These modules are interconnected via ultra-high-fidelity chip-to-chip connections. This structure delivers exponentially greater computational power per dollar and watt compared to systems formed by low-fidelity network connections of numerous small QPUs.
Ecosystem and Production Expansion QuantWare is also expanding the Quantum Open Architecture (QOA) ecosystem developed around the VIO-40K. Nvidia’s NVQLink platform has been included in this ecosystem, fully compatible with the VIO-40K. When combined with the VIO architecture, NVQLink integrates high-scale quantum computing with low-latency, high-bandwidth classical AI supercomputers, offering developers unified access via Nvidia CUDA-Q.
Immediately following this launch, QuantWare announced plans for a massive production facility named Kilofab. Scheduled to open in 2026, the facility is defined by the company as the world’s first facility dedicated to Quantum Open Architecture devices and one of the largest quantum manufacturing complexes to date. Stating that it is already the commercial company shipping the highest volume of quantum processors, QuantWare announced that Kilofab will increase this capacity by 20-fold. Meanwhile, pre-orders for the new processor are now open, with the first devices scheduled for delivery to customers in 2028.
