QuEra Computing has secured additional funding from NVentures, Nvidia's venture capital arm, expanding its previously announced $230 million Series B round initially revealed in February. This latest injection of capital strengthens QuEra’s position in the field of neutral atom quantum computing and accelerates its path toward developing fault-tolerant quantum systems. The investment follows Google's earlier participation in QuEra’s fundraising earlier this year and complements the company's ongoing strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). This positioning uniquely grants QuEra access to advanced AI and cloud infrastructure from three major global technology firms. “This is a sign of confidence,” Yuval Boger, QuEra’s Chief Business Officer, told AI Business in an exclusive interview. “The fact that Nvidia chose to invest in us—and that we decided to accept their funding—demonstrates mutual trust between our companies. They don’t invest in just anyone, so we are pleased to have their brand among our investor lineup.” QuEra and Nvidia are collaborating across multiple fronts. A Gemini-class QuEra quantum computer, integrated with more than 2,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, has been deployed in Japan's ABCI-Q system via Nvidia's CUDA-Q software platform. Additionally, QuEra is a founding collaborator at Nvidia’s Boston-based Accelerated Quantum Center, where QuEra’s hardware is paired with Nvidia GB200 NVL72 GPU clusters for large-scale simulations and decoder research. The two companies have also co-developed Transformer models trained on Nvidia’s accelerated computing platform, outperforming conventional quantum error correction techniques. “Earlier this year, we published joint research showing that Nvidia was able to train an AI model that excels at decoding quantum errors,” Boger noted. “As error-correcting codes become more complex, the algorithms required to process these measurements also grow in complexity. We’ve developed an AI tool that skips the multi-step algorithmic process and jumps directly to the result, and it appears to perform efficiently and scale well.” Nvidia’s deepening involvement in quantum computing marks a significant shift in the industry landscape. According to Boger, Nvidia recognizes that quantum computing represents the next major computing paradigm—not as a replacement for GPUs or CPUs, but as a complementary technology. “They don’t have to choose between macaroni and cheese—they’ve decided to make macaroni and cheese together,” Boger remarked. QuEra focuses on delivering both cloud-based and on-premises quantum computing solutions. Cloud access offers advantages in cost, flexibility, and the ability to test multiple vendors, while on-premises systems address concerns around quantum sovereignty and handling sensitive data. "People want access to quantum either in the cloud or on-site," Boger explained. “A cloud solution allows users to experiment with multiple vendors and avoids the risk of today’s quantum systems becoming obsolete tomorrow. On-premises deployment is valuable for quantum independence—every country wants its own sovereign quantum capability—as well as for handling confidential data.” The partnerships with Nvidia, Google, and AWS offer QuEra more than just financial backing. As Boger emphasized, these relationships bring credibility with enterprise clients and support a joint go-to-market strategy for hybrid applications. “When we enter a data center or high-performance computing facility, we can say that we don’t just collaborate with Nvidia—they are actual investors in our company. Not only did we receive major funding from Google—which runs its own quantum program—but they find our approach compelling enough to invest. This instantly builds trust,” Boger explained. The new funding also enables QuEra to maintain a long-term vision without pressure to generate short-term revenue. “The fact that we are well-funded means we don’t have to worry about immediate survival,” Boger said. “We have a long enough runway to focus on what truly matters in quantum computing: bringing large-scale, fault-tolerant systems to market as quickly as possible.” Looking ahead, Boger envisions a future where quantum computing becomes an integral part of the computing infrastructure, with the focus shifting from the technology itself to the outcomes it enables. “Quantum isn’t the end goal—it’s the enabler,” Boger said. “Our mission is to deliver value through the combination of quantum and classical computing. Eventually, people will be amazed by what computers can do—not because they contain quantum processors, but because of the results they produce.”
