Quint Computing raises €9.1 million to develop quantum chips
Vsquared led the German startup’s first funding round. Quint also received a €2.2 million Pathfinder grant from the European Innovation Council.
A €9.1 million debut investment round will help Germany’s Quint Computing develop its quantum processors, hire staff and pursue early industrial deployment projects. Vsquared led the financing for the startup, which is working on chips intended to prevent errors within the hardware.
The investor group also comprised Faber, Quantonation, ZOHO.VC, Nucleus Capital and Vanagon Ventures. Industry specialists taking part included Prof. Mikko Möttönen, who founded IQM and QMill. Quint separately received a Pathfinder grant of €2.2 million from the European Innovation Council.
Quint’s patented architecture for superconducting quantum chips targets high error rates, an obstacle to industrial applications. Current correction techniques can require more hardware, make computation more complex or slow processing.
The company says full implementation of its technology could deliver a factor-of-100 reduction in system complexity, hardware needs and energy use, while retaining high computing speed. It identifies pharmaceuticals, logistics, chemicals and manufacturing as possible application areas.
Planned recruitment spans chip design and fabrication, as well as error correction and applications. Quantum physicists Prof. Christopher Eichler and Prof. Michael Hartmann established Quint in October 2025 together with economist Dr Jona Stinner. Its origins lie in research at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), and it forms part of Munich Quantum Valley.
