Nanofiber Quantum Technologies, Inc. (NanoQT)<\/a>, a quantum computing company, has announced the first closing of its $14 million Series A financing. The round was led by existing investor Phoenix Venture Partners (PVP)<\/a>, with new participation from Brevan Howard Macro Venture Fund<\/a>. Existing investors WASEDA University Ventures, Inc. (WUV)<\/a>, JAFCO Group Co Ltd<\/a>, Mirai Creation Fund III (SPARX Asset Management Co., Ltd.)<\/a>, and Keio Innovation Initiative, Inc. (KII)<\/a> also participated. The financing follows more than $20 million in government R&D grants from Japan and the United States that support NanoQT\u2019s roadmap.<\/p>\n NanoQT\u2019s core technology is a proprietary nanofiber-cavity interconnect, which functions as an ultra-low-loss fiber-optic interconnect. The device is designed to enable the efficient conversion of qubit signals into photonic signals, a capability grounded in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). The company\u2019s initial product is engineered for neutral-atom QPUs, with the goal of enabling distributed and networked quantum computing.<\/p>\n The company intends to use the proceeds to accelerate the development and productization of its nanofiber-cavity interconnect and to expand its engineering and manufacturing capacity in College Park, Maryland, and Tokyo. Masashi Hirose, Ph.D.<\/a>, CEO and Co-Founder of NanoQT, noted that the interconnect is an essential component for scaling up quantum computing and integrating QPUs with quantum communication capabilities.<\/p>\n Read the full announcement here<\/a>.<\/p>\n September 25, 2025<\/p>\n
