1,000-Qubit Processor Achieves Room-Temperature Coherence — Rewriting the Quantum Computing Timeline

A Munich-based startup's breakthrough could collapse the expected timeline to practical quantum computing by nearly a decade.

QBIT

The QS-1000 processor chip contains 1,024 superconducting qubits operating at ambient temperature.

QuantumScale, a four-year-old startup spun out of the Technical University of Munich, has demonstrated coherence times of 2.4 milliseconds at room temperature across a 1,024-qubit processor — confirmed by independent reviewers at MIT and ETH Zürich.

"Two years ago I would have told you room-temperature coherence at this scale was a decade away. I would have been wrong."
