Quantum is a fast and efficient kernel designed to be used in Windows.
== History ==
: Main article: Windows 13
The idea of replacing the NT kernel had been around since the launch of Windows 12 in 2024. Windows 12 showed that the NT kernel was so old and outdated that were only two ways to keep releasing updates and versions to Windows.
One was to rewrite the NT kernel to order to modernize and futureproof it. That side became Project QNT while a team on the other side believed that NT kernel needed to be replaced with a futureproof Kernel that would need rewriting for decades to come. This project was named "Uranium."
Uranium had much better progress then QNT because Uranium had builds roll out on a weekly basis where as QNT had its first and only build roll out almost 5 months after Uranium rolled out its first build. This was likely due to the experienced Uranium Team compared to the mostly rookie team at QNT. The two projects were soon merged in early 2028 into Project Palisade to develop the next major version of Windows, Windows 13.
== Features ==
