QuEra Computing, a developer of neutral-atom quantum computers, has announced an additional investment from NVentures (the venture capital arm of NVIDIA). This latest funding expands QuEra’s $230 million Series B round, which was first unveiled in February 2025 and included participation from Google. The round further strengthens QuEra’s position at the intersection of quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and cloud infrastructure.

The investment from NVentures builds on QuEra’s existing partnerships with major technology players, including Amazon Web Services. These collaborations give QuEra access to some of the most advanced computing environments in the world, helping the company move closer to its goal of building large-scale, error-corrected quantum systems. The funding also deepens QuEra’s technical and commercial relationship with NVIDIA, particularly in the area of hybrid quantum-classical computing.

QuEra’s neutral-atom architecture is being integrated with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing stack to support high-performance computing centers globally. One of the most notable examples is Japan’s ABCI-Q system, where a Gemini-class QuEra quantum computer operates alongside more than 2,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs. These systems are connected through NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q software platform, forming a national testbed for developing fault-tolerant quantum algorithms and workflows that leverage AI.

In the United States, QuEra is also collaborating with NVIDIA at the newly established NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Center in Boston. There, QuEra’s hardware is paired with NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL72 GPU clusters to support large-scale simulation and research into quantum error correction. One of the key outcomes of this partnership has been the development of AI-powered quantum decoders. These decoders, built using transformer models trained on NVIDIA’s infrastructure, have demonstrated improved scalability and performance compared to traditional methods—an important milestone in the journey toward practical fault-tolerant quantum computing.

The investment also signals growing market momentum for hybrid quantum-classical systems. QuEra’s technology is now being validated as a viable partner for GPU-coupled quantum supercomputers, and its coordinated push into high-performance computing centers is designed to reduce barriers to adoption. With support from Google, AWS, and now NVIDIA, QuEra is positioned to accelerate its roadmap and expand its reach beyond early-stage research labs into broader enterprise and institutional markets.

QuEra’s broader goal is to develop quantum computers that are not only scalable and fault-tolerant but also capable of solving problems that are currently beyond the reach of classical systems. Built on foundational research from Harvard and MIT, the company operates the world’s largest publicly accessible quantum computer, available both via cloud platforms and for on-premises deployment.

KEY QUOTES:

“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.”
