Bengaluru-based quantum computing startup QpiAI recently announced the launch of Kaveri 64, a 64-qubit superconding quantum processing unit (QPU), which the company describes as India’s most advanced quantum processor to date.
According to QpiAI, the Kaveri 64 QPU is built on a fabrication process and architectural design developed in-house. The company says this platform will serve as a foundation for scaling its hardware toward larger systems, including a planned roadmap to 1,000 qubits.
Commercial availability of Kaveri 64 is expected in the third quarter of 2026. The processor is aimed at use cases in sectors such as cryptography, machine learning, and optimization, and the company expects interest from businesses, research institutions, and government stakeholders in India and abroad. Currently, the company offers the full-stack 25-qubit Indus Quantum Computer made commercially available in 2024.
The startup hopes to eventually build a Quantum Supremacy Centre (QSC), a quantum data centre projected to cost an estimated US$136 million (₹1,136 crore). QSC will house a fleet of 100 interconnected quantum computers (100–1000 qubits each) across 10 acres of land.
The startup also held its Series-A funding this year, where it raised US$32 million led by Avataar Venture Partners and India’s National Quantum Mission.
