Matthijs Rijlaarsdam, co-founder and CEO of QuantWare

Matthijs Rijlaarsdam, co-founder and CEO of QuantWare, joins Yuval Boger to discuss how his company is enabling the scaling of quantum processors through its VIO technology, a 3D chip architecture that addresses key bottlenecks in scaling qubits. Matthijs explains the three major challenges—fan-out, integration of components, and yield—and how VIO solves these to facilitate quantum chips with millions of qubits. He also shares insights into Quantware’s business model, which spans fully packaged chips, foundry services, and packaging services, drawing parallels to the semiconductor industry. They explore the impact of heat, signal routing, and error correction, the strategic importance of marketing and storytelling in the quantum industry, and more.
