Bengaluru is the city where QpiAI inaugurated its 8-inch quantum foundry on August 19, 2026. The facility is located within a newly opened 70,000 sq ft R&D centre and is designed for semiconductor-scale manufacturing of advanced quantum processors. It aims to produce processors containing up to 10,000 physical qubits, a major increase from QpiAI’s existing 128-qubit capability. The facility will support the mass production of quantum processors for high-performance computing and the development of specialised quantum-AI solutions. Bengaluru, Karnataka, is also the headquarters of QpiAI, a full-stack quantum computing startup.
