Delft-based quantum hardware firm Quantware has closed an oversubscribed Series A round, raising a total of 27 million dollars. Led by Forward.One, with participation from QDNL Participations, Alumni Ventures and the NATO Innovation Fund, the capital will support the build-out of the company’s chip fabrication facilities.
At the heart of Quantware’s strategy is its VIO platform, a technology that enables stacking of quantum chips into an almost-monolithic quantum processor. VIO enables the vertical integration of control and readout wiring and embeds signal conditioning directly on-chip, solving key engineering barriers to quantum scalability. This architecture is designed to support the quantum industry’s push toward million-qubit systems, enabling customers to leapfrog hardware limitations with modular upgrades.
“VIO plays a critical role in the future of quantum computing, and our recent progress proves that we can turn our vision into reality,” says Quantware CEO Matthijs Rijlaarsdam. “We’re now building key partnerships across the quantum ecosystem to deliver 1-million-qubit systems in the coming years. This additional funding accelerates that momentum – bringing us closer to our mission: making the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity’s most important challenges.”
