Along with Intel Capital, other companies involved in the fundraising for QuantWare included IQT, ETF Partners, FORWARD.one and Invest-NL Deep Tech Fund.
"The promise of quantum computing, capable of solving humanity's intractable challenges, can only happen once it can be manufactured and deployed at scale. That is exactly what we are building," said Matt Rijlaarsdam, CEO and co-founder of QuantWare, in a statement.
The European Commission and EU countries have in the last five years provided more than 11 billion euros ($12.88 billion) in public funding to quantum technology.
