Quantum Art has closed a $100 million Series A financing to accelerate development of its trapped-ion quantum computing platform and push toward a 1,000-qubit commercial system designed for scalable, multi-core architectures. The Ness Ziona, Israel-based company, said the round will help it move from early revenue to broader commercial scale, while supporting global expansion and continued progress toward achieving quantum advantage.
Bedford Ridge Capital led the round alongside Battery Ventures, with participation from Destra Investments, Lumir Growth Partners, Disruptive AI, Harel Insurance, Karen W. Davidson, GTV, Yasmin Lukatz, Corner Capital, and Qbeat Ventures. Quantum Art said existing investors and stakeholders Amiti Ventures, StageOne Ventures, Vertex Ventures, Entrée Capital, and the Weizmann Institute of Science also participated. The financing brings the company’s total funding to $124 million, following its 2022 seed round.
Quantum Art said the new capital will accelerate development of Perspective, its planned 1,000 qubit system that uses a multi-core approach aimed at scaling performance while maintaining the connectivity needed for high-impact quantum algorithms. The company also said it will support prototyping work on a third-generation two-dimensional architecture targeting thousands of qubits for real-world applications.
The company’s scale-up strategy centers on reconfigurable trapped ion chains designed to preserve connectivity as systems grow, combined with multi-qubit gates intended to compress complex operations into a single step. Quantum Art also said its approach uses dynamic optical segmentation to create parallel computing regions within the same ion chain, and dense two-dimensional arrays to enable larger qubit counts while keeping a compact footprint.
Quantum Art pointed to recent technical progress and partnerships as a foundation for the Series A. The company said it published a detailed multiyear roadmap and achieved additional milestones, including demonstrating what it described as the world’s longest fully controlled trapped ion chain of 200 ions. It also cited early results from collaboration work with NVIDIA’s CUDA Q platform, where it said circuit depth decreased by 10X. It noted a joint project with Ayalon Highways focused on exploring quantum computing methods to improve traffic congestion.
