German quantum computing startup Quint Computing, which develops superconducting quantum chip technology designed to reduce errors and improve the scalability of quantum computers, has raised €9.1 million in its first funding round led by Vsquared Ventures, with participation from Quantonation, Nucleus Capital, Faber, Vanagon Ventures, ZOHO.VC and Mikko Möttönen, founder of IQM Quantum Computers and QMill.
- Founded in 2025 by Prof. Michael Hartmann, Prof. Christopher Eichler and Dr Jona Stinner, Quint Computing emerged from research at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and is part of the Munich Quantum Valley ecosystem.
- The company develops a patented superconducting quantum processor architecture designed to address errors at the hardware level. By combining chip design with continuous electrical control, its technology aims to stabilise quantum circuit elements, reducing the need for resource-intensive error correction while maintaining computational speed.
- According to the company, its approach could reduce hardware requirements, system complexity and energy consumption by up to a factor of 100, supporting the development of commercially viable quantum computers.
Details of the deal
- With the fresh capital, the firm aims to advance its quantum processor technology, expand its research and engineering team and accelerate its path towards commercialisation.
- In addition to the €9.1 million funding round, Quint Computing has secured a €2.2 million Pathfinder grant from the European Innovation Council (EIC).
