Coherence Quantum raises €2.78M to tackle quantum computer scaling challenges

Finnish quantum hardware startup Coherence Quantum has raised €2.78 million in a seed funding round to develop its cryogenic signalling and control technology for quantum computers. The round was led by Lifeline Ventures, with participation from technology entrepreneur Mårten Mickos. Originating from Aalto University’s Quantum Computing and Devices (QCD) research group, Coherence Quantum is developing an integrated cryogenic signalling and control platform designed to address infrastructure challenges associated with scaling quantum processors. As quantum computers become more powerful, increasing the number of qubits also requires more complex control and readout systems. Conventional approaches involve additional wiring and signal-conditioning hardware within environments with limited space and cooling capacity, while quantum processors must remain protected from thermal noise and other disturbances that can affect performance. Coherence Quantum aims to address these challenges by de
