QuEra Computing, a developer of neutral-atom quantum computers, has announced a new investment from NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture capital arm), which expands its $230 million Series B round. This funding is intended to accelerate QuEra’s development toward fault-tolerant neutral-atom computers and support its mission to deliver quantum-accelerated supercomputing.
The collaboration pairs QuEra’s neutral-atom architecture with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing stack. A QuEra computer of the Gemini-class is installed next to NVIDIA H100 GPUs in Japan’s ABCI-Q system, integrated by the NVIDIA CUDA-Q software platform. This setup creates a national testbed for fault-tolerant algorithms and quantum workflows. QuEra will also collaborate with NVIDIA on projects at the NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Center (NVAQC) in Boston, coupling QuEra hardware to NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 GPU clusters for large-scale simulation and decoder research.
This investment and collaboration are designed to provide QuEra with access to advanced AI and cloud infrastructure as it advances toward large-scale, error-corrected quantum computing. QuEra CEO Andy Ory commented that the shared belief that hybrid quantum-classical systems will provide value for customers. The company’s push into HPC centers is intended to lower procurement friction for hybrid quantum deployments and expand its addressable market. The investment builds on earlier funding from Google and collaborations with Amazon Web Services.
