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.  Meir Orbach 14:56, 27.04.26 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 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. Quantum Art founders.

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.

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. TAGS: Funding Quantum Art Quantum Computing
