QpiAI has launched a 25-qubit superconducting quantum computer, dubbed QpiAI-Indus.
The system is India’s first full-stack quantum computing platform and forms part of the Bangalore-based startup’s contributions under the country’s National Quantum Mission (NQM).
According to QpiAI, the quantum computer comprises quantum processors built on superconducting qubits – and a cryogenic setup necessary for operating them at near millikelvin temperatures, a quantum-HPC software stack, and AI-assisted hybrid optimization tools, while its QpiAISaaS offering allows users to access quantum hardware through an integrated interface.
In a post on LinkedIn, QpiAI said it has an “ambitious roadmap” to scale up to 128 NISQ qubits within the next two years and 100 logical qubits by 2030.
The startup is one of eight companies selected for the government-funded NQM initiative, intended to accelerate India’s capabilities across quantum computing, communication, sensing, metrology, and materials. Separately, QpiAI has also secured financial backing from India’s Small Industries Development Bank.
QpiAI was founded by Dr. Nagendra Nagaraja, who is also CEO and chairman of the board at the company. It has offices in Milpitas, Canada; Helsinki, Finland; and Bengaluru, India. The company raised $6.5m in a Pre-Series A funding round in 2024.
