Nvidia Backs Quantinuum in $600M Funding Round, Valuing Quantum Firm at $10B

Nvidia's venture capital arm has joined a $600 million investment in Quantinuum, propelling the quantum computing company's valuation to $10 billion. The round, which includes Honeywell, JPMorgan Chase, and Mitsui among others, signals robust confidence in quantum technology's commercial potential.

Honeywell remains the majority owner and is steering Quantinuum toward a possible IPO by 2027. The firm, born from the merger of Cambridge Quantum and Honeywell Quantum Solutions, specializes in hardware and software for chemistry modeling, machine learning, and cybersecurity.

Nvidia's participation reflects a strategic hedge against quantum disruption, aligning its AI chips with next-generation computing systems. The quantum sector is gaining momentum, with investment and job growth underscoring its rapid evolution.
