A German quantum hardware company has announced the first 100+ qubit quantum processors based on diamond-lattice technology, marking a potential shift in the quantum computing hardware competition away from superconducting and ion-trap approaches.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Quantum Computing. Wire is Fusion42's founder-focused intelligence feed: each story is connected to the funds and startups it names — every one with a live profile on Raise or Scout — so founders can follow the capital and the momentum behind the headline rather than just the headline itself. Wire analysis is one of the live surfaces Arthur reasons over.

The Wire takeaway

If you're building quantum software or applications, you now have a third credible hardware platform competing for your stack—and this one scales to 100+ qubits without needing the cooling and isolation of superconducting rivals. Call them this week; the cost and complexity calculation just changed.
