Quantum Elements Secures Additional Funding for AI-Driven Development Platform

Quantum Elements Secures Additional Funding for AI-Driven Development Platform Quantum Elements, a Los Angeles-based startup focused on streamlining quantum application development has received new funding. The investment, structured as a SAFE, also includes participation from QDNL Participations, Quantacet, R-Squared Ventures, and Firgun Ventures. Quantum Elements is developing Constellation, a platform designed to bridge the gap between abstract circuit design and physical hardware. By integrating AI-driven digital twins with hardware-aware simulation, the tool allows users to refine quantum circuits in a virtual environment before deploying them to live QPUs. This “shift-left” approach aims to reduce the high costs and error rates currently associated with NISQ-era hardware. The startup boasts a high-profile leadership group, including CEO Izhar Medalsy, CSO Professor Daniel Lidar (USC), and Co-founder Professor Amir Yacoby (Harvard). Dr. Chad Rigetti, founder of Rigetti Computing, serves on the company’s board, providing deep industry expertise. Since its October 2025 cloud launch, the company has established a wide net of partnerships with major players including IBM, Rigetti, Quantum Machines, and AWS and formed collaborative ties have been formed with the National University of Singapore (NUS) and UCLA.
