About
QuantWare is a Delft, Netherlands-based company designing, fabricating, and integrating superconducting quantum processors. It was founded in 2021 as a spinout from QuTech at TU Delft by Matt Rijlaarsdam and Alessandro Bruno 12. The company’s proprietary VIO architecture uses a modular, “open architecture” approach intended to scale superconducting qubits toward utility-scale quantum computing, and as of the May 2026 funding announcement QuantWare reports having shipped quantum processors to more than 50 customers across 20 countries 13. Proceeds from the Series B will finance KiloFab, a new dedicated quantum processor fabrication facility in Delft, alongside the VIO-40K processor architecture targeting 10,000 qubits 123.

What Founders Say
“The promise of quantum computing can only be realised once it can be manufactured and deployed at scale. With VIO-40K and KiloFab, we are building both the technology and the production capacity needed to meet growing global demand.”
