Quantum Art, a developer of full-stack trapped-ion quantum computers, announced today that it has extended its Series A financing to $140 million, led by Bedford Ridge Capital with participation from new investors including Hudson Bay Capital, Poalim Equity, LIP Ventures, Wolverine Global Ventures, and IDA Ventures. The extension builds on the company's $100 million Series A announced in December 2025, driven by strong investor demand 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 development of advanced optical technologies required for massive qubit scaling, expansion of the company's 2D architecture roadmap, and global business development initiatives.
“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, CEO and co-founder of Quantum Art. “The funding will accelerate development of our 1,000-qubit multi-core system, Perspective, and enable us to strengthen the core technologies behind our architecture while continuing to grow our global team as we move forward with commercialization.”
The importance of this funding round lies in its focus on scalability, which remains the defining challenge in quantum computing. Most approaches still run into scaling limitations, while Quantum Art's architecture is designed to overcome those constraints. As noted by Michael Reidler, Investment Partner at Bedford Ridge Capital, “Our continued investment in Quantum Art reflects our view that scalability remains the defining challenge in quantum computing. Most approaches still run into scaling limitations, while Quantum Art's architecture is designed to overcome those constraints. We believe that gives the company a meaningful advantage as the market matures.”
Quantum Art is entering its commercialization phase, transitioning from advanced technology development to market deployment. As part of this evolution, 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 customers to scalable access to quantum hardware, and ultimately to the commercialization of stand-alone quantum computing systems. Through this staged model, customers can progress seamlessly 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, business development, and long-term growth. The company, founded in 2022 as a spin-off from the Weizmann Institute of Science, combines scalable hardware with software designed for real-world applications in optimization, simulation, and advanced computing.
Etai Kramer, Managing Director at Poalim Equity, commented, “Quantum Art is tackling one of the most important challenges in the field: how to scale without compromising performance. We believe their approach and pace of execution to date position the company well within Israel's growing quantum ecosystem and the broader global market.” For more information, visit Quantum Art's website.
