Quantum Machines, founded in 2018 in Israel, develops the orchestration layer that controls quantum computers. Its OPX control hardware and QUA programming language let researchers run complex, real-time quantum experiments and error-correction routines that bridge classical and quantum computing. The company has built a platform (including its NVIDIA-partnered DGX Quantum system) that fuses AI-driven classical processing with quantum control, addressing one of the field's central bottlenecks: precisely operating fragile qubits at scale. Quantum Machines says it works with more than half of all quantum computing companies and major research labs. In February 2025 it raised a $170M Series C led by PSG Equity, with Intel Capital, Red Dot Capital Partners and others, bringing total funding to $280M at a $700M valuation to expand its control technology and quantum-classical computing stack.
