量子运动公司的硅芯片赌注：1.6亿美元C轮，量子计算装进机箱而非大楼

做的是什么生意

Quantum Motion builds full-stack silicon-based quantum computers: QPU, control stack, and software integrated; chips go through the GlobalFoundries 300mm wafer production line, with the goal of fitting directly into existing data-center racks.

启动资金：In 2023, Bosch Ventures led an approximately USD 50 million Series B; in May 2026, it closed a USD 160 million Series C (co-led by DCVC and Kembara, with British Business Bank and Firgun participating), bringing cumulative funding to more than USD 200 million.

起因

Founded in London in 2017 by Professor John Morton of UCL and Professor Simon Benjamin of Oxford (牛津), betting on the silicon spin quantum-dot route; about 30 employees in 2022, and after the approximately USD 50 million Series B in 2023 it began internationalising, establishing sites in Spain, Australia, and the United States.

经过

In 2025, it deployed a full-stack silicon CMOS quantum computer at the UK National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC): one- and two-qubit gates, entanglement, and stable measurement were completed within three standard server racks; it deepened cooperation with GlobalFoundries, connecting the roadmap to a 300mm wafer production line; employees grew from about 30 in 2022 to more than 120 in 2026; it was selected for the DARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (量子基准计划) Stage B.

结果

Still expanding: after the USD 160 million Series C in May 2026, it became the UK's most-funded quantum company, claiming it will commercialise 'utility-scale' silicon quantum processors; it has not yet delivered a commercial fault-tolerant machine, and mass production and commercial deployment are still in progress.
