Quint Computing raises €9.1M to scale quantum computing technology

Quint Computing, a German quantum computing startup founded in October 2025 by Professors Michael Hartmann and Christopher Eichler, has secured €9.1 million in its initial funding round. The investment was led by Vsquared, with participation from Quantonation, Nucleus Capital, Faber, Vanagon Ventures, and ZOHO.VC, alongside industry experts including Prof. Mikko Möttönen, founder of IQM and QMill.

The company, which emerged from research at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) and is part of the Munich Quantum Valley ecosystem, is developing a superconducting quantum chip architecture aimed at reducing high error rates in quantum computers. These errors, caused by the sensitivity of quantum systems to disturbances, hinder practical applications.

Quint's patented processor architecture seeks to address these limitations by preventing a significant proportion of errors directly at the hardware level, potentially reducing system complexity, hardware requirements, and energy consumption by a factor of 100 while maintaining high computational speed. With the new funding, Quint plans to expand its research and engineering team, advance its quantum processor technology, and pursue initial industrial deployment projects.
