Quantum machines
Quantum Machines (QM) is a quantum computing company incorporated in the United States that develops control and orchestration systems for quantum processors. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, the company produces hardware and software infrastructure designed to enable the execution and scaling of quantum computing experiments across multiple hardware platforms. Its technology is used by research institutions, national laboratories, and commercial organisations worldwide.
History
Quantum Machines was founded in 2018 by Dr. Itamar Sivan, Dr. Yonatan Cohen, and Dr. Nissim Ofek, all of whom hold doctoral degrees in physics with specialisations in quantum computing and quantum electronics, having conducted research at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
In March 2022, the company announced its acquisition of QDevil, a Danish quantum electronics company focused on developing and manufacturing auxiliary electronics and specialised components for the operation of quantum processing units. QDevil became the Auxiliary Electronics Division of Quantum Machines, and the company expanded QDevil's headquarters in Copenhagen, Denmark.
In June 2023, Quantum Machines established the Israel Quantum Computing Center (IQCC) at Tel Aviv University, in collaboration with Israel's Innovation Authority. The centre houses three quantum computers and serves academic researchers and advanced research and development centres in Israel and abroad.
Products and technology
The company's flagship product is the Quantum Orchestration Platform (QOP), a control stack that integrates dedicated hardware with QUA, a proprietary universal quantum programming language. The platform supports real-time control, low-latency operations, and the execution of complex protocols including quantum error correction.
The QOP and its successor hardware, the OPX1000, are designed to be hardware-agnostic and support multiple qubit modalities, including:
- Superconducting qubits
- Trapped ions
- Silicon spin qubits
- Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in diamond
Funding and investors
Quantum Machines is a privately held company. In February 2025, the company announced it had raised US$170 million in a Series C funding round, bringing its total funding to US$280 million. The round, first revealed by Calcalist, valued the company at approximately US$700 million. The round was led by PSG Equity, with participation from Intel Capital, Red Dot Capital Partners, and existing investors. Prior investors include Valor Equity Partners, Alumni Ventures, Battery Ventures, Samsung NEXT, and Qualcomm Ventures.
Partnerships
In March 2023, Quantum Machines announced a collaboration with Nvidia on the NVIDIA DGX Quantum, described as a first-of-its-kind architecture for high-performance and low-latency quantum-classical computing. The system connects a NVIDIA Grace Hopper system via PCIe to Quantum Machines' OPX+ controller, enabling sub-microsecond latency between GPUs and quantum processors.
In March 2025, Quantum Machines announced its intention to collaborate with NVIDIA at the newly established NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Research Center (NVAQC) in Boston, alongside other quantum computing organisations including Quantinuum and QuEra, and academic partners from Harvard and MIT.
Additional hardware partnerships have been established with qubit manufacturers including Alice & Bob, IQM Quantum Computers, and QuEra Computing. The company has also participated in industry-led workshops with the Toyota Group in Japan focused on exploring quantum computing applications in industrial contexts.
Offices
Quantum Machines maintains its global management and research and development headquarters in Tel Aviv, Israel. Following the acquisition of QDevil, the company operates a centre for auxiliary electronics and cryogenic research in Copenhagen, Denmark. Additional offices supporting engineering and commercial activities are located in Stuttgart, Germany; Paris, France; and several locations in the United States.
