Quantum Motion's Series C funding validates a strategic pivot toward silicon-based quantum computing, leveraging standard CMOS fabrication to drastically reduce hardware costs from hundreds of millions to single-digit millions. This approach aims to bypass the supply chain bottlenecks of bespoke manufacturing, potentially accelerating the timeline for commercially viable quantum systems through established semiconductor infrastructure. By securing participation in DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative, the company aligns its roadmap with national efforts to scale practical quantum utility using scalable, industry-standard processes.
DCVC and Kembara lead new investment in Quantum Motion

Quantum Motion secured further Series C funding, led by DCVC and Kembara, to scale silicon quantum hardware.
Quantum Motion has secured further investment to advance silicon-based quantum computing, aiming for a 100-fold cost reduction compared to many competing architectures currently priced upwards of $100 million per machine, the company says. The series C funding round, led by DCVC and Kembara, will support custom silicon development and expansion, including a newly opened US lab in Maryland, as well as participation in DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative Stage…
