September 3, 2024 -- QuantWare today announced the introduction of VIO technology to its Foundry Services. The VIO platform developed by QuantWare unlocks very large QPUs by solving the scaling challenges faced by the industry. By offering VIO in its Foundry Services, QuantWare’s latest offering enables any company to scale its design IP to large QPU sizes.

QuantWare’s proprietary scaling platform, VIO, is now available to its foundry service customers. VIO enables rapid scaling of quantum processors and drastically reduces crosstalk.

QuantWare has been quietly working on VIO technology and is now releasing the first generation of VIO, called VIO-176, to its foundry service customers. VIO-176 allows customers to design QPUs with up to 176 signal lines, giving space for more than 100 qubits into a QPU (depending on the design parameters).

Current QPUs face a number of scaling bottlenecks. VIO uniquely solves these by placing the qubit chips in a proprietary 3D chip architecture.

This generation of its scaling platform, VIO-176, is the same technology that powers its 64-qubit Tenor QPU, which is currently available to Early Access partners.

Its foundry services enable >100μs T1 Transmons, with >99% junction yield, and junction targeting with less than 2% spread. QuantWare also provides post-fabrication frequency trimming and packaging for these large scale devices as an option.

“VIO is the missing link in scaling up QPUs”, said Matthijs Rijlaarsdam, CEO of QuantWare. ”We are building on the strong market position of our fully packaged products to make VIO technology the scaling platform to scale the designs of our customers. This is a big step in getting the field to scale”.
