Nu Quantum is securing a significant Series A to scale its quantum networking ambitions, building an interoperable infrastructure for distributed quantum computing.

The funding will expand the team and deployment reach across Europe and the U.S., including the Los Angeles office opened in 2024, while drawing advisory support from leaders at IBM, Cisco, and AWS.

Founder and CEO Dr. Carmen Palacios-Berraquero says the investment validates their early vision of networked quantum computing as essential to practical, scalable quantum systems.

Existing investors Amadeus Capital Partners, IQ Capital, and Presidio Ventures returned for the round, with no new valuation disclosed.

Contextual note mentions a UK-Germany quantum collaboration package, cited for background but not elaborated in this piece.

Official materials and announcements were released around December 10, 2025, accompanying the funding news.

While the excerpt doesn’t detail use of funds or milestones, the capital is expected to advance hardware development, partnerships, and hiring as part of a broader roadmap.

Nu Quantum previously raised £8.5 million in a 2023 pre-Series A round.

The round totals $60 million in Series A funding, led by National Grid Partners with participation from Gresham House Ventures and Morpheus Ventures, plus ongoing support from existing backers.

Described as the largest pure-play quantum networking Series A in the UK to date and the largest early-stage quantum funding round in the country.

The Cambridge spinout aims to grow its quantum computer networking business with this new capital.

Industry context notes AI-driven demand is accelerating investment in advanced hardware, including quantum tech, as traditional systems approach performance limits.
