Company

Israeli trapped-ion quantum computing company. Weizmann Institute spinout, founded 2022. Led by Dr. Tal David (CEO), Dr. Amit Ben Kish (CTO), and Prof. Roee Ozeri (CSO). $140M+ raised. Building toward 1,000-qubit quantum advantage by 2027.

Quantum Art is an Israeli quantum computing company founded in 2022 as a spinout from the Weizmann Institute of Science. Headquartered in Ness Ziona, the company is building full-stack trapped-ion quantum computers — hardware, software, and applications — based on decades of ion-trap research at the Weizmann Institute.

Founders Dr. Tal David (CEO), Dr. Amit Ben Kish (CTO), and Prof. Roee Ozeri (CSO). Ozeri built Israel's first quantum computer at Weizmann; Ben Kish previously served as CTO of a division at Rafael Advanced Defense Systems; David led the Israeli National Quantum Initiative before co-founding the company.

Technology Trapped-ion quantum computing — individual charged atoms trapped by electromagnetic fields and manipulated by lasers. Quantum Art's proprietary multi-core architecture uses reconfigurable trapped-ion chains targeting high qubit counts with low error rates. The company demonstrated the world's longest fully controlled trapped-ion chain of 200 ions in 2025.

Funding $140M+ raised across seed and Series A. Series A led by Bedford Ridge Capital with participation from Battery Ventures, Amiti Ventures, StageOne Ventures, Vertex Ventures, Entrée Capital, and the Weizmann Institute of Science.

Roadmap 50-qubit system (near-term) → 1,000-qubit "Perspective" system targeting quantum advantage by 2027 → "Landscape" platform at 12,000-40,000 qubits → fault-tolerant "Mosaic" architecture targeting 1 million qubits by 2033.

Weizmann connection Spinout of Prof. Roee Ozeri's lab at the Weizmann Institute. The Weizmann Institute of Science (via its technology transfer arm Yeda) is a direct investor in the company. Quantum Art leads a $30M Israeli Innovation Authority quantum computing consortium including Classiq, Qedma, IAI, and academic groups from across Israeli universities.
