Nu Quantum Secures $60M Series A to Scale Quantum Networking

Fresh capital targets photonic interconnects designed to link quantum processors—key to scaling beyond single-chip limits.

UK-based Nu Quantum announced and was widely reported this week as having closed an oversubscribed $60 million Series A, led by National Grid Partners, to accelerate development of its quantum networking technology. The company’s pitch is straightforward: scaling quantum computing likely requires networking multiple processors, not just making one chip bigger. 

The round is described as helping expand the team and accelerate the roadmap for its networking approach (marketed around distributed quantum computing). 

Conclusion:
If quantum computing is going to “go large,” networking becomes the skeleton key—so funding aimed at interconnects is a strong signal that investors are betting on distributed architectures, not only monolithic QPUs.
