QuantWare claims the quantum industry has reached a turning point. The company unveiled a new generation of its Quantum Processor Unit (QPU) architecture that supports the creation of chips with 10,000 qubits.
That makes it 100 times larger than any quantum processor available today. Despite the leap in scale, the processor fits in a smaller footprint than current systems.
For nearly a decade, the quantum sector has struggled to grow processor size. Most commercial systems stalled around the 100-qubit mark.
Google increased the number of qubits from 53 to 105 in six years. IBM recently revealed a 120-qubit design, and its latest roadmap suggests that it will remain a leading size into 2028.
Hardware bottlenecks forced companies to link many small processors rather than scale individual ones. That approach increased complexity and cost, slowing real-world progress.
