QuEra Expands $230 Million Financing Round Advancing Quantum-Accelerated Supercomputing

QuEra accelerates journey to fault-tolerant neutral-atom computers with injection of capital building on earlier funding from Google and others

BOSTON, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- QuEra Computing, developer of advanced neutral-atom quantum computers, today announced an investment from NVentures (NVIDIA's venture capital arm) that expands its $230 million Series B round first announced in February.

Andy Ory, CEO, QuEra Computing
"We already work with NVIDIA, pairing our scalable neutral‑atom architecture with its accelerated‑computing stack to speed the arrival of useful, fault‑tolerant quantum machines. But the decision to invest in us deepens our collaboration and underscores our shared belief that hybrid quantum-classical systems will unlock meaningful value for customers sooner than many expect."

Market Momentum
The funding from NVentures follows Google's participation in QuEra's successful financing announced in February 2025 and also complements QuEra's longstanding collaborations with Amazon Web Services. Together, these collaborations give QuEra access to the world's most advanced AI and cloud infrastructure as it advances toward large‑scale, error‑corrected quantum computing.    

QuEra will continue to collaborate with NVIDIA on go-to-market initiatives aimed at high-performance-computing centers worldwide, integrating QuEra's neutral-atom systems with NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure and software stack.

Building on Existing Programs
The investment builds on ongoing collaboration thrusts, including:

• Hybrid quantum-classical supercomputing at AIST. A Gemini-class QuEra computer is installed next to the 2,000+ NVIDIA H100 GPUs in Japan's ABCI‑Q system. The systems are integrated by the NVIDIA CUDA‑Q software platform, creating a national test‑bed for fault‑tolerant algorithms and quantum workflows leveraging AI.
• Founding collaboration at the NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Center (NVAQC). QuEra will collaborate with NVIDIA on projects at the NVAQC in Boston, coupling QuEra hardware to NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 GPU clusters for large‑scale simulation and decoder research.
• AI‑powered quantum error decoding. Using transformer models trained on NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform, a QuEra/NVIDIA team built decoders that outperform traditional maximum‑likelihood approaches and improve scalability—an essential step toward practical fault‑tolerant quantum computing.

Market Initiatives    

• Hybrid moves from theory to roadmap: Today's news validates QuEra's neutral-atom hardware as a promising partner for GPU-coupled quantum supercomputers.
• Ecosystem signal: With investment from Google and a longstanding partnership with AWS, QuEra sits at the strategic intersection of cloud, AI, and quantum     .
• Path to early utility: Joint R&D and deeper software integration tightens the feedback loop between algorithm design, AI-assisted error decoding, and hardware iterations, accelerating the timeline for fault-tolerant benchmarks.
• GTM synergy: QuEra's coordinated push into HPC centers to lower procurement friction for hybrid quantum deployments, widens QuEra's addressable market beyond early-adopter labs.
