QuantWare, a provider of quantum processors, has delivered its 64-qubit Tenor QPU to the University of Naples Federico II (Unina), powering Italy’s largest quantum computer. The Tenor is a product of the Quantum Open Architecture (QOA) model, which aims to lower the time and capital required for organizations to build quantum computers.
QuantWare’s goal with the QOA model is to enable the ecosystem to innovate by allowing companies to build systems with components from various suppliers. The Tenor QPU is powered by the company’s VIO platform and is the first in a broader rollout by QuantWare to its early-access partners. The university’s Quantum Computing Napoli (QCN) laboratory at the Department of Physics “Ettore Pancini” will use the processor to build the system and its applications.
Prof. Francesco Tafuri, head of the QCN Laboratory, commented that the commercial availability of the Tenor QPU significantly accelerated their timeline. Matt Rijlaarsdam, CEO of QuantWare, noted that this delivery demonstrates the effectiveness of the QOA approach in putting quantum computers in the hands of a wider ecosystem.
