QuantWare: Quantum processor

2021: Sales of the world's first superconducting processor for quantum computers have begun

In mid-July 2021, Dutch startup QuantWare launched the world's first commercially available superconducting processor for quantum computers (QPU). Experts believe that this development can significantly accelerate the revolution in the field of quantum computing.

The quantum industry is still young, and it is difficult to scale. In particular, companies that create parts for quantum computers need qubits, but they are often too expensive to produce on their own. Superconducting QPUs QuantWare eliminate this barrier and can play an important role in the development of the quantum computer market.

Sales of the world's first superconducting processor for Soprano quantum computers started

A QuantWare product called Soprano is a 5-qubit QPU. QuantWare reported that "the accuracy of each qubit will be 99.9%, which should provide manageability over the error level." 5 qubits are sufficient for the immediate client base that QuantWare expects to attract, namely research institutes and university laboratories.

Co-founder QuantWare Matthijs Rijlaarsdam notes that superconducting qubits are easy to adjust, easy to manage, and easily scalable. This practicality makes superconducting QPUs the most likely candidate for short-term quantum computing projects. QuantWare products significantly reduce the costs traditionally needed to create quantum technologies, and the company has already found the first client by providing its QPUs for the ImpaQT project, the world's first quantum computer for several companies.

Another way to achieve the "quantum advantage" is to develop a chip specifically for a particular application. QuantWare works in this direction, creating together with the developers of QPU software, specializing in the necessary algorithms.^[1]
