Quantum Art, a developer of full-stack trapped-ion quantum computers, announced today that it has extended its Series A financing to $140 million, up from the $100 million announced in December 2025. The extension was 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 additional capital will accelerate development of Perspective, Quantum Art's 1,000-qubit multi-core system, and support advancements in 2D architecture and next-generation optical control technologies.
This funding round underscores the growing interest in quantum computing as a transformative technology. Quantum Art's approach uses trapped ions, which are considered one of the most promising platforms for building large-scale quantum computers due to their long coherence times and high gate fidelities. However, scaling trapped-ion systems to thousands of qubits has been a significant challenge. Quantum Art's Perspective system aims to overcome this by employing a multi-core architecture that connects multiple ion traps via optical interconnects, enabling modular scaling without sacrificing performance.
“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.”
Michael Reidler, Investment Partner at Bedford Ridge Capital, noted, “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 also preparing to launch a Quantum as a Service (QaaS) offering, which will serve as a central pillar of its go-to-market strategy. The QaaS platform will allow customers to progress from algorithm exploration to execution on live quantum systems, bridging early-stage use-case development with scalable access to hardware. This staged model is designed to facilitate customer engagement and ultimately drive the commercialization of stand-alone quantum computing systems.
Etai Kramer, Managing Director at Poalim Equity, added, “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.”
Founded in 2022 as a spin-off from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Quantum Art is entering its commercialization phase, transitioning from advanced technology development to market deployment. The company is expanding its global footprint and building strategic partnerships to support business development. For more information, visit https://www.quantum-art.tech/.
