About
Q-Factor is an Israeli quantum computing startup building neutral-atom quantum computers using optical tweezers and Rydberg physics. Its architecture is designed for continuous scalability, aiming for a Moore's Law-like trajectory that carries neutral-atom systems from thousands of qubits toward millions. The company was founded by a team from the Weizmann Institute and Technion with deep roots in quantum optics. In April 2026, Q-Factor raised a $24 million seed round led by NFX and TPY Capital, with participation from Intel Capital and Korea Investment Partners. The founding team includes Prof. Ofer Firstenberg (Chief Scientist, Weizmann Institute, formerly Harvard/MIT), Prof. Nir Davidson (more than 280 publications, former physics dean at Weizmann), Prof. Yoav Sagi (Technion, formerly JILA/University of Colorado), and CEO Dr. Guy Raz. Technion and the Weizmann Institute hold institutional equity through Yeda, the Weizmann technology transfer arm, and four founders are graduates of the Talpiot program.
