Quantum Brilliance Raises $20M

Quantum Brilliance, a developer of room temperature diamond quantum technology, has raised $20 million that the company said will enable it to create a diamond foundry and co-develop quantum sensing prototypes. At the same time, the company said it will use the Series A funding to continue to advance its technology in collaboration with semiconductor partners.

Quantum diamonds have a wide range of potential uses across quantum computing, sensing, and networking. Their compact size, light weight, room temperature functionality, and suitability for mass deployment give quantum diamonds distinct advantages over other quantum technologies in certain use cases. Quantum diamonds are well-suited for large-scale deployment, reliable performance in everyday environments and/or harsh conditions, and seamless integration into existing infrastructure.

Quantum Brilliance established a partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in September 2024 under which Quantum Brilliance’s room temperature diamond accelerators will be installed alongside ORNL’s high-performance computing systems. The company also received a contract in the same month from Germany’s Agentur für Innovation in der Cybersicherheit GmbH to build a mobile quantum computer by 2027, working with quantum architecture company ParityQC.
