Quantum Art, a developer of full-stack quantum computers based on trapped-ion qubits and a proprietary scale-up architecture, today announced that it has closed a $100 million Series A funding round. The investment accelerates the company’s path toward commercializing its systems, achieving quantum advantage, scaling its platform to enable quantum processors with thousands of qubits, and supporting Quantum Art’s expansion.
Bedford Ridge Capital led the round alongside Battery Ventures, Destra Investments, Lumir Growth Partners, Disruptive AI, Harel Insurance, Karen W. Davidson, GTV, Yasmin Lukatz, Corner Capital, and Qbeat Ventures.
Existing investors and stakeholders Amiti Ventures, which led the seed round, StageOne Ventures, Vertex Ventures, Entrée Capital, and the Weizmann Institute of Science continued participating in this round. The financing brings Quantum Art’s total funding to date to $124 million following a seed round in 2022.
The funding accelerates the development of Perspective, a 1,000-qubit multi-core system aimed at achieving quantum advantage, and supports prototyping of the company’s third-generation 2D architecture targeting thousands of qubits for high-impact, real-world applications.
Quantum Art’s architecture uses reconfigurable, multi-core trapped-ion chains that preserve high connectivity as systems grow. Multi-qubit gates compress complex operations into a single step, while dynamic reconfigurable optical segmentation enables parallel computing regions within the same ion chain with optimal connectivity. Dense 2D arrays enable significant qubit scaling while preserving a compact system footprint.
The company recently published a multiyear roadmap along with additional technical milestones including demonstrating a “fully controlled trapped-ion chain of 200 ions”. The company released early results in a collaboration with NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q platform where circuit depth decreased by 10X and secured a joint project with Ayalon Highways to explore how quantum computing can improve traffic congestion.
“This funding lets us strengthen this team and deepen our strategic partnerships that will accelerate our path to commercial-scale machines,” said Dr. Amit Ben-Kish, CTO and co-founder of Quantum Art.
Quantum Art, an Israeli company founded in 2022 as spin-off from the Weizmann Institute of Science, is a full-stack trapped-ion quantum computing company developing systems and solutions for complex computational problems. Its architecture combines scalable hardware with software designed for real-world applications in optimization, simulation, and advanced computing.
