Off the shelf quantum processors cut the cost of building quantum computers

QuantWare in the Netherlands has launched two next generation off the shelf quantum processors to make building quantum computers an order of magnitude more efficient.
The Soprano-D and Contralto-D quantum processor units (QPUs) boost performance and cut cost and lead times for building quantum computers. The Soprano-D with up to 5 qubits starts at €60k while the Contralto-D with up to 21 qubits is €300k. This is six times more ‘value for money’ than the previous generation says QuantWare.
QuantWare’s reference setup measurement results show average coherence times of 60 μs, average single qubit gate fidelities of 99.9%, and a two qubit gate fidelity of 99.7%.
Combining the new processors with the recently released Crescendo-S J-TWPA allows users to reach readout fidelities of 97.5%.
The Soprano-D is available in 2 models with up to five interconnected, fully-controllable superconducting transmon qubits, while the Contralto-D comes in 3 models with up to 21 qubits, with 4 fully isolated.
Both processor lines also include improvements to their ease of use. Detailed installation manuals and several hours of expert support are included with every purchase to reduce the complexity of building a quantum computer. Contralto-D now has connectors for high-density cables, enabling ease of integration and handling.
The lead times for both QPUs have been halved to 90 days and now include an individual, cryogenic pre-characterisation report, significantly improving the reliability of the processors and further shortening the time required to build a quantum computer.
To achieve this, the company specialises exclusively in quantum hardware rather than developing a full software stack as well. This specialisation allows the company to create products that serve a larger number of quantum computer builders.

“Soprano-D and Contralto-D reflect the continuous striving for excellence of our team, and their hard work to meet the needs of our customers. It shows the rapid rate of progress in the quantum computing market – that driven by the feedback we receive from our customers we’re able to create products that enable them to build better systems faster and more efficiently”, says Matthijs Rijlaarsdam, CEO of QuantWare.
“A great example of this is the Echo-5Q system Formfactorbuilt. It vastly outperforms competing systems in that category and is powered by QuantWare’s Soprano-D,” he said.
The full spec sheets of both Soprano-D and Contralto-D are available from QuantWare.
