https://quantumroundup.com/ Daily feed of quantum technology company funding events: quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing. Amounts are approximations from public reports. en-us Fri, 06 Nov 2026 09:40:57 GMT 1440 https://quantumroundup.com/funding 2026-11-us-chips-quantum-loi-atom-computing Sun, 01 Nov 2026 00:00:00 GMT Atom Computing appears in the November 2026 CHIPS Act letter-of-intent list from the U.S. Department of Commerce, months after a separately reported $300M private raise. The two entries answer different questions: the letter identifies neutral atoms as a domestic capability worth supporting, while the private round says something about what investors would fund. No price, tranche schedule or equity stake is attached to this notice, so it adds zero to the funding total and is kept only to show where policy and private capital overlap.

A non-binding letter of intent therefore does not change its access to capital; it mainly signals that annealing and its gate-model expansion are inside the policy perimeter. We record the notice at month precision with no amount, and we do not treat it as a precursor to a priced round.

Its neutral-atom sensing work is the likely policy interest, but the notice itself states no award value. The editorial reason to keep it is transparency: readers comparing the company with funded peers should see that two headline events contributed no disclosed cash.

A CHIPS-related notice is relevant to which domestic fabrication partnerships are encouraged, not to the company's cash balance. Our ledger shows it with an empty amount column and a month-precision date so it can never be summed with the priced rounds.

Superconducting fabrication access is the plausible policy rationale, but the notice publishes neither a figure nor a milestone. We keep both rows separate and never fold a policy notice into an at-the-market total.

For SpinQ, the sequence matters more than any single figure: desktop NMR product revenue and a domestic listing path are different capital stories from cloud-only hardware peers. The amount is auto-collected with one duplicate merged, so we present it as an estimate and link the source.

Neutral-atom systems moved from physics milestones to deployment commitments in a short window, so a round of this size usually funds infrastructure rather than a single record. A syndicated duplicate was merged and the figure is flagged approximate.

Chinese-language coverage often bundles credit lines, subsidies and equity into one number, so the methodology keeps this row marked approximate. One syndicated duplicate was merged and the source URL is published.

Quobly is pursuing a foundry-compatible route, so the relevant comparison is with other CMOS-oriented European startups, not with photonic or trapped-ion totals. The figure remains approximate and auto-collected with its source link visible.

Quantinuum had a JPMorgan-led Series B in 2024 and a growth round in 2025; this listing closes a three-year transition from private full-stack developer to public company. Because the report is auto-collected, we show the source URL and keep the amount flagged as approximate until a filing is matched.

Photonic Inc. builds silicon spin-photon modules, where financing news is often syndicated across outlets. We keep the later, larger report with a corroborating count and flag it as approximate rather than adding both to the total.

We keep it with an auto-collected badge and a merged duplicate count instead of silently deleting it. Readers should treat the amount as reported and check the source URL before citing the stage label.

Quantum Motion is one of several European silicon-spin entries in the same quarter, which is why our regional totals for that period are sensitive to how overlapping reports are de-duplicated. One syndicated duplicate was merged into this row.

That makes it a supply-layer entry whose capital should not be read as a bet on one qubit modality. Two overlapping reports from the same news window were merged here, and the surviving figure remains approximate and auto-collected.

One syndicated duplicate of this announcement was merged. For SpinQ, the pre-IPO label also connects to the larger Series D reported in the same quarter, which is why our de-duplication keeps both as separate dated events rather than collapsing them.

Pasqal had a priced Series B in 2023, so this entry tells readers that a European neutral-atom company was testing the public route while grants and private funding continued in parallel. We deliberately leave the amount column empty rather than copying a valuation from unrelated coverage.

Photonic Inc. is building distributed optically linked modules, a capital-intensive architecture. The figure is auto-collected with a source link and no named investors, so we publish it as an estimate and do not infer a lead.

Nu Quantum builds networking components for quantum communication, a supply-layer business whose funding scale is far below the computing cohort. It is marked auto-collected and not yet manually reviewed, so the amount is published as a lower-bound estimate with its source link visible.

Quantum Art works on photonic computing in the Middle East, a region where our dataset has few priced rounds, so this row materially changes the regional total. It should be read as a reported figure: we expose the source URL and the auto-collected badge instead of implying a confirmed filing. Source: Google News. https://quantumroundup.com/funding 2025-09-iqm-series-b Mon, 01 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT The $320M Series B roughly doubles the size of the company's own A2 extension from 2022, which is a cleaner signal of escalating European hardware ambition than any cross-company comparison. IQM Quantum Computers sells full systems to research infrastructure buyers, so a larger B round funds delivery capacity as much as chip development.

Four years after the Series C, PsiQuantum had announced utility-scale sites in Brisbane and Chicago; the money is therefore tied to facilities and foundry partnerships, not to a qubit-count milestone. Because the syndicate is only partially reported, we name the confirmed participants and leave the rest unattributed.

For Quantinuum, which sells hardware plus software and services, that label fits a company broadening distribution after its 2024 Series B. Reuters is the cited source, and the row sits in the same quarter as the largest photonic raise, which is why 2025 dominates the dataset's annual concentration.

IonQ had already listed via SPAC in 2021, so this offering is a follow-on that changes the denominator for every comparison with private trapped-ion peers. SEC filing coverage is the cited source, which is why the confidence flag is firmer than for press-reported rounds. Source: SEC filing coverage, Business Wire. https://quantumroundup.com/funding 2025-06-dwave-atm Sun, 01 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMT An at-the-market programme of $400M is an authorisation to issue shares over time, not a single cash injection on one date. For D-Wave Quantum, which already had a smaller equity offering earlier in 2025, the ATM explains why headline figures can look duplicated. We store the programme total with its announcement date and explicitly warn against summing it with the offering as two independent rounds. Source: company announcement. https://quantumroundup.com/funding 2025-06-rigetti-atm Sun, 01 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMT The $350M ATM authorisation is drawn down in tranches, so the useful number for a ranking is the programme size, not an imagined closing date. Rigetti Computing builds superconducting processors, where fabrication commitments are lumpy; an ATM gives a listed company flexibility that a private Series round does not. Our ledger keeps this separate from venture capital and marks it as public-market financing. Source: company announcement, market coverage. https://quantumroundup.com/funding 2025-04-horizon-quantum-spac Tue, 01 Apr 2025 00:00:00 GMT An announced merger with dMY Squared Technology Group places Horizon Quantum Computing in the small group of Asia-Pacific quantum entries seeking a public listing. Its product is software development tooling rather than hardware, which is why an undisclosed SPAC amount is not a missing data point but a different kind of event altogether. We keep the row to make the region's capital-market activity visible without inventing a number.

SandboxAQ remains one of the few software-led rows in a hardware-dominated ranking, so its inclusion shifts the median more than the total.

Because annealing hardware has been commercially sold for years, this financing is closer to working capital for a listed vendor than to startup runway. Our method keeps public-market rows in the total but refuses to treat them as priced venture rounds. Source: company announcement.
