QuamCore raises $9 million in Seed funding to build scalable 1 million qubit quantum computer | CTech
Summary
The quantum computing revolution in Israel continues to gain momentum with the launch of QuamCore, a startup founded by two professors and a technology leader from Mobileye. The round was led by Viola Ventures, with participation from Earth & Beyond, which invested in the company from the outset, as well as Surround Ventures and international strategic investors.CEO Alon Cohen, co-founder of the EyeC Radar Group at Mobileye (Intel), served as the chief architect and head of the EyeC Radar algorithm group, shaping it into a core technology for autonomous vehicle perception. A professor at the Technion Israel Institute of Technology, his groundbreaking work in superconducting circuits and quantum measurement has been published in top-tier journals, including Nature.Prof. "The challenge in quantum computing isnt just adding more qubits - its how you scale without hitting fundamental barriers," said Alon Cohen, CEO of QuamCore. "To achieve this, we rethought everything - from transitioning to digital control, developing new superconducting devices, and redesigning the processor architecture from the ground up, Cohen added.
