World's first 10,000-qubit processor marks 100× quantum scaling leap

QuantWare has announced a groundbreaking advancement in quantum computing with the unveiling of the world’s first 10,000-qubit Quantum Processor Unit (QPU), named VIO-40K. This processor represents a 100-fold increase in qubit count compared to existing commercial quantum processors, which have largely been limited to around 100 qubits for nearly a decade. Unlike previous approaches that linked multiple smaller processors, QuantWare’s new architecture employs a 3D scaling method and chiplet-based design, enabling dense, single-chip quantum computing with improved reliability, performance, and efficiency. The system supports 40,000 input-output lines and high-fidelity chip-to-chip connections, delivering more compute power per dollar and watt than current networked multi-QPU platforms. QuantWare’s innovation is positioned as a new industry standard for scaling superconducting qubit-based quantum processors, with compatibility integrated into its Quantum Open Architecture ecosystem. The company has partnered with NVIDIA to incorporate NVQLink technology, which links quantum and
