Quantum Art, an Israeli developer of full-stack trapped-ion quantum computers, today announced it has extended its Series A financing to $140 million. The round 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. This 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 for commercial-scale quantum computing. The capital will also support advanced optical technologies required 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, the extension reflects strong investor confidence in the company's architecture and long-term vision. "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," David said.
Michael Reidler, Investment Partner at Bedford Ridge Capital, emphasized scalability as 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," Reidler said. 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."
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, 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, and ultimately 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, business development, and long-term growth. Founded in 2022 as a spin-off from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Quantum Art develops full-stack trapped-ion quantum computing systems for complex computational problems.
