Dutch quantum hardware company QuantWare B.V. has secured €20 million in a Series A funding round to scale its quantum processors for next-generation computing. The round was co-led by Invest-NL Deep Tech Fund and Innovation Quarter, with participation from EIC Fund and existing investors. QuantWare develops VIO, a technology that allows its customers to build larger single-chip quantum processing units, which are less prone to interference.
QuantWare's VIO technology aims to solve scaling bottlenecks that limit the size of QPUs today, allowing users to scale any qubit design and unlocking the fastest path towards quantum computers with more than 1 million qubits in a single processor. The funding will be used to further develop VIO, expand chip fabrication facilities, and roll out QuantWare’s Contralto-A QPU, designed for quantum error correction. QuantWare's CEO, Matthijs Rijlaarsdam, stated that their mission is to make VIO the scaling standard and power the first million-qubit quantum computers of the hyperscalers of tomorrow. References :

Infleqtion has announced the successful demonstration of a 16x16 neutral atom array, the largest of its kind reported in the UK. This achievement is a key milestone in the Scalable Quantum Atomic Lattice computing tEstbed (SQALE) project. The SQALE project is focused on advancing neutral atom quantum computing by refining atomic reconfiguration, state preparation and measurement, and local and global gate operations.
This milestone supports the UK’s goal of developing a 100+ qubit quantum computing system by 2025 through scalable atom trapping and advanced gate laser systems. This accomplishment, achieved in collaboration with the NQCC’s testbeds initiative, is a crucial step toward building scalable quantum processors capable of supporting fault-tolerant quantum computing, enabling real-world applications in optimisation, materials science and AI. Infleqtion is working with partners including Riverlane, QinetiQ, and the Oxfordshire City Council to refine quantum gate fidelity, scale neutral atom architectures, and benchmark performance for real-world applications.
