Quantum Art, a developer of full-stack trapped-ion quantum computers, announced today that it has extended its Series A financing to $140 million, driven by strong investor demand. The round was led by Bedford Ridge Capital, with new participants including Hudson Bay Capital, Poalim Equity, LIP Ventures, Wolverine Global Ventures, and IDA Ventures. This extension builds on the company's $100 million Series A announced in December 2025, as Quantum Art moves toward large-scale, commercially viable quantum systems.
The new funding will accelerate development of Perspective, Quantum Art's 1,000-qubit multi-core system designed to enable commercial-scale quantum computing. The capital will also support advanced optical technologies for massive qubit scaling, expansion of the company's 2D architecture roadmap, and global business development. According to Dr. Tal David, CEO and co-founder of Quantum Art, the extension reflects strong investor confidence in the company's architecture and long-term vision for scalable commercial quantum computing. The funding will enable the company to strengthen core technologies and grow its global team as it moves forward with commercialization.
Michael Reidler, Investment Partner at Bedford Ridge Capital, noted that scalability remains the defining challenge in quantum computing. He stated that most approaches run into scaling limitations, while Quantum Art's architecture is designed to overcome those constraints, giving the company a meaningful advantage as the market matures. Etai Kramer, Managing Director at Poalim Equity, emphasized that Quantum Art is tackling one of the most important challenges: how to scale without compromising performance. He believes the company's approach and pace of execution position it well within Israel's growing quantum ecosystem and the broader global market.
Quantum Art is entering its commercialization phase, transitioning from advanced technology development to market deployment. The company is preparing to launch its Quantum as a Service (QaaS) offering, which will serve as a central pillar of its go-to-market strategy. The QaaS platform is designed to bridge early-stage use-case development with scalable access to quantum hardware, ultimately leading to the commercialization of stand-alone quantum computing systems. Through this staged model, customers can progress from algorithm exploration and co-development to execution on live quantum systems. In parallel, Quantum Art is expanding its global footprint, establishing a presence in key international markets and building strategic partnerships to support customer engagement and long-term growth.
Quantum Art, an Israeli company founded in 2022 as a 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.
