SilQ Connect, a startup focused on distributed quantum computing, has closed its pre-seed funding round with backing from quantum-focused investors QV Studio, Quantacet, and Quantonation. The funding will support SilQ’s development of microwave-optical quantum interconnects for modular and scalable quantum systems.
The company aims to enable utility-scale quantum computing by connecting modular processors into distributed architectures. This marks a critical step in advancing long-distance entanglement and scaling quantum computing systems beyond single-chip limitations.
The investors include Quantonation, a global deep-tech VC; Quantacet, Quebec’s first quantum-focused fund; and QV Studio, a quantum venture studio that supports researcher-led startups. All three have supported SilQ since inception.
