IQT The Quantum Dragon Podcast Episode 83 – This Podcast Has an Open Architecture.
In this episode, host Brian Siegelwax talks with Matt Rylarsdom, CEO and co‑founder of Quantware, about the company’s mission to become the "Intel of quantum" by delivering standardized, mass‑produced quantum processors. Rylarsdom explains Quantware’s Vertical I/O (VIO) architecture, which routes signals from the top of the chip, dramatically reducing routing overhead, improving qubit density, and maintaining high inter‑chip fidelity. He highlights the company’s roadmap to ship a 40,000‑I/O, 10,000‑qubit system by 2028 at a cost of roughly $55 million (≈ $50 million USD), a ten‑fold per‑qubit cost reduction compared to current offerings. The discussion underscores the importance of economies of scale, ASIC‑based control hardware, and realistic cost curves for making large‑scale quantum computers commercially viable.
