American quantum computing startup PsiQuantum announced yesterday that it has cracked a significant puzzle on the road to making the technology useful: manufacturing quantum chips in useful quantities.

Founded in 2020, Dutch startup QuantWare is one of these, which claims that the hardware it manufactures already powers quantum computers for customers in 20 countries. Its core offering, vertical integration and optimization, or VIO, focuses on scaling bottlenecks in quantum processing units (QPUs).

Dubbed Ocelot, it’s designed to correct errors with less hardware overhead.

QuantWare claims its technology provides the fastest route to a 1-million qubit, megawatt-scale quantum computer
