Quantum Art extends Series A to $140 million as quantum computing race heats up
The Israeli startup raises an additional $40 million as it advances toward a 1,000-qubit system and commercial-scale deployment.
Quantum Art, the Israeli quantum computing company spun out of the Weizmann Institute of Science, has added $40 million to its Series A round, bringing total funding in the round to $140 million, as investor appetite builds around efforts to make quantum computing commercially scalable.
The original $100 million Series A was announced in December 2025. The additional capital was led by Bedford Ridge Capital, alongside Hudson Bay Capital, Poalim Equity, LIP Ventures, Wolverine Global Ventures and IDA Ventures. The extension was driven, according to the company, by continued investor demand as it advances toward large-scale quantum systems.
Rather than marking a new fundraising cycle, the additional $40 million deepens an existing bet: that Quantum Art’s trapped-ion architecture can overcome one of quantum computing’s central technical constraints - scaling systems without losing performance stability.
The fresh capital will support development of Perspective, a 1,000-qubit multi-core system designed for commercial-scale quantum computing. It will also fund work on advanced optical technologies required for qubit scaling, expansion of the company’s 2D architecture roadmap, and global business development.
“This extension of our Series A reflects strong investor confidence in Quantum Art’s architecture and long-term vision for scalable commercial quantum computing,” said Dr. Tal David, the company’s CEO and co-founder. He said the funding will accelerate work on the 1,000-qubit system and support continued hiring as the company moves toward commercialization.
Founded as a spin-off from Prof. Roee Ozeri's group at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Quantum Art’s leadership team includes internationally recognized experts in trapped-ion quantum computing, large-scale system engineering, and quantum market strategy. The company, founded by Dr. Tal David (CEO), Dr. Amit Ben Kish (CTO), and Ozeri (CSO), has spent years developing proprietary techniques for implementing multi-qubit gates, scalable modular architectures, and robust quantum error correction.
The company is now moving toward commercialization, including plans for a Quantum as a Service (QaaS) platform. The model is designed to allow customers to progress from algorithm development and co-design to execution on quantum hardware, and ultimately to broader deployment of quantum systems.
Alongside this transition, Quantum Art is expanding internationally and building partnerships intended to support early customer adoption.
