About Quantcore
University of Glasgow spin-out, founded in August 2025, that makes niobium-based superconducting processors, resonators and sensors at the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre. It raised a 2.5 million pound seed round announced on 24 February 2026, co-led by PXN Ventures, Blackfinch Ventures and Scottish Enterprise.
Quantcore was founded in 2025 and is based in Glasgow, United Kingdom. It is listed under Quantum Computing, Superconducting Computing. Reported funding is GBP 2.5M seed, Feb 2026.

What Quantcore 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.
Superconducting Computing
Superconducting computing uses circuits made of materials that have no electrical resistance when cooled below a critical temperature. The common material is niobium, which works at about 4 kelvin (around minus 269 degrees Celsius), the temperature of liquid helium. Without resistance, the wires do not waste energy as heat.
