About Nu Quantum

Nu Quantum develops quantum networking hardware, meaning the links that connect separate quantum processors so they can work as one larger machine. Its products include Quantum Networking Units and Qubit-Photon Interfaces, which convert the state of a qubit into light that can travel between processors. It also offers Entanglement Fabric, a software layer that hides the details of those links from programmers. The company says it has worked on quantum networking since 2018. It is headquartered in Cambridge, United Kingdom, with a business office in Los Angeles.

Nu Quantum was founded in 2018 and is based in Cambridge, UK, United Kingdom. It is listed under Quantum Computing, Photonic Computing. Reported funding is $60M Series A (December 2025).

What Nu Quantum works on

Quantum Computing

A quantum computer is a machine that uses the rules of quantum physics to process information. Its basic unit is the qubit. A classical bit is either 0 or 1. A qubit can be in a superposition, a state that combines both, and its measured result is probabilistic.

Photonic Computing

Photonic computing uses light instead of electricity to carry or process information. Photons have no charge, so light in a waveguide does not cause the resistive heating that current in a wire does, though lasers and modulators still use power, and many wavelengths can share one waveguide. The industry has two quite different parts: moving data with light, and computing with light.
