Brighton-based Universal Quantum announced over €89 million ($100 million) in Series A funding to develop and commercialise its modular quantum computers and expand internationally. DCVC and Firgun Ventures co-led the round.

The company uses charged atoms held by electric fields as qubits, the units that carry quantum information. It plans to connect modules through integrated chips and interconnect technology, with the new capital supporting chiplet arrays and control systems for larger machines.

Funding will also support its first research and development centre outside Europe, in Singapore. The architecture is designed for practical, error-corrected computing; that capability remains a development objective.
