Quantum Art, an Israeli developer of full-stack quantum computers based on trapped-ion qubits, has closed a $100 million Series A funding round. The investment brings the company’s total funding to date to $124 million and is intended to accelerate its path toward commercialization and achieving quantum advantage.
The highly successful round was led by Bedford Ridge Capital, with participation from new investors including Battery Ventures, Destra Investments, Lumir Growth Partners, Disruptive AI, Harel Insurance, Karen W. Davidson, GTV, Yasmin Lukatz, Corner Capital, and Qbeat Ventures. Existing investors, including seed round leader Amiti Ventures, StageOne Ventures, Vertex Ventures, Entrée Capital, and the Weizmann Institute of Science (from which Quantum Art was spun off), also continued their support.
The funding is specifically earmarked to accelerate the development of Perspective, the company’s 1,000-qubit multi-core system, and support the prototyping of its third-generation 2D architecture, which targets thousands of qubits. Quantum Art’s architecture uses reconfigurable, multi-core trapped-ion chains to preserve high connectivity as systems grow, leveraging multi-qubit gates and dynamic reconfigurable optical segmentation. The company claims its approach allows for up to 100 times more gates per second and a 50-fold reduction in footprint compared to some competitor roadmaps.
This investment follows a period of rapid progression, including the demonstration of the world’s longest fully controlled trapped-ion chain of 200 ions, a collaboration with the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform where circuit depth decreased by 10×, and a joint project with Ayalon Highways to explore traffic congestion solutions.
