Quantum Art, an Israeli 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 funding round was led by Bedford Ridge Capital, with 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 as it moves toward large-scale, commercially viable quantum systems.
The new capital will accelerate development of Perspective, Quantum Art’s 1,000-qubit multi-core system designed to enable commercial-scale quantum computing. Funds will also support advanced optical technologies required for massive qubit scaling, expansion of the company’s 2D architecture roadmap, and global business development.
“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.”
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.
“Our continued investment in Quantum Art reflects our view that scalability remains the defining challenge in quantum computing,” said Michael Reidler, Investment Partner at Bedford Ridge Capital. “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.”
Etai Kramer, Managing Director of 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.”
The implications of this funding are significant for the quantum computing industry. Quantum Art’s architecture is based on trapped-ion technology, which is often considered a leading candidate for fault-tolerant quantum computing. By focusing on scalability—the ability to increase qubit count without degrading performance—the company aims to overcome a major hurdle that has limited quantum computers to small, error-prone systems. The Perspective system’s 1,000-qubit target would represent a milestone, as current state-of-the-art systems typically operate with fewer than 100 logical qubits.
For business leaders, Quantum Art’s commercialization push, including the QaaS platform, signals that quantum computing is moving closer to practical application. The staged model allows customers to start with algorithm exploration and co-development, then progress to execution on live quantum systems. This approach could lower the barrier for enterprises to experiment with quantum solutions for optimization, simulation, and advanced computing tasks, potentially offering competitive advantages in industries such as finance, logistics, and pharmaceuticals.
Quantum Art, founded in 2022 as a spin-off from the Weizmann Institute of Science, is expanding its global footprint by establishing a presence in key international markets and building strategic partnerships. More information is available at https://www.quantum-art.tech/.
