Will the Quantum Revolution Come From Israel?

There are now 30 quantum computers globally, one of which is located in Israel. Connoisseurs may not be surprised that the Weizmann Institute of Science, under Prof. Dr. Roee Ozeri, has finally succeeded in realizing an Israeli quantum computer.

The first Israeli quantum computer is not only among the Top 30 but among the Top 10 quantum computers because its processor architecture is based on a so-called ‘ion trap‘. That much to the amazing backdrop of quantum computing in Israel.

The establishment of quantum computing is comparable to the invention of the steam engine, the computer, or even writing. Not being there is not an option. Whoever gains ‘Quantum Supremacy” will rule the world.

Now, an Israeli startup presented a breakthrough. The Israeli startup ‘QuamCore’ did the unthinkable. As we speak, Google can manage 105 qubits (quantum processing units) with its ‘Willow Processor’, and IBM is said to present a chip that can manage up to 1.000 qubits.

And now the Israeli startup ‘QuamCore” claims to manage 1 million qubits with its developed chip architecture!

The company wrote on its website: “With our patented superconducting design and innovative ‘architecture-first’ approach, we enable fault-tolerant, scalable systems capable of managing millions of qubits.”

The company said that they reduced the size and, by that, the energy consumption, which is a crucial issue. Currently, the qubits must operate near zero, which costs a lot of energy and space. This consumption of space looks like a menorah built of thousands of gold wires.

The company explained in its press release: “Traditional control electronics generate too much heat and must therefore be placed outside the cryostat (the ultra-cold chamber where quantum computing happens). This separation creates an insurmountable scaling bottleneck, requiring millions of cables to connect the control electronics to the processor.

Right now, the most advanced quantum computers from IBM and Google can only fit about 5,000 qubits per cryostat, requiring hundreds of interconnected cryostats in a football-field-sized facility to scale.”

QuamCore, a deep tech startup redefining quantum computing scalability, announced today its emergence from stealth with $9 million in seed funding.

Founded in 2022, QuamCore has spent the past two years developing its breakthrough superconducting quantum processor architecture, working in stealth mode to solve the critical scalability challenges that have long prevented practical quantum computing.

The company has now emerged with a patented architecture that enables the integration of 1 million qubits into a single cryostat – a milestone previously thought impossible.

This breakthrough dramatically reduces the size, energy consumption, and cost of quantum computers, unlocking practical applications across pharmaceuticals, AI, materials science, and energy.

What once required a football field of hardware can now, with QuamCore’s technology, be condensed into a compact box – fundamentally reshaping the economics and accessibility of quantum computing.

CEO Alon Cohen, co-founder of the EyeC Radar Group at Mobileye (Intel), served as the chief architect and head of the EyeC Radar algorithm group, shaping it into a core technology for autonomous vehicle perception. He holds over 40 patents in radar, communication, and signal processing and was awarded Intel’s highest innovation honor, the Intel Oscar Prize, for his contributions.

The quantum computer will be the material basis for actual artificial intelligence. Without quantum computers, there would be no actual artificial intelligence. The other basis will be philosophy. Here, unfortunately, everything is still in its infancy and is at the beginning. But that is another topic.
