Riverlane, a leader in quantum error correction (QEC) technology, has announced a successful Series C funding round, raising $75 million to advance its pioneering QEC roadmap. The round was led by Planet First Partners, with participation from ETF Partners, EDBI, and existing investors Cambridge Innovation Capital (CIC), Amadeus Capital Partners, the UK’s National Security Strategic Investment Fund (NSSIF), and Altair.
This investment will propel Riverlane’s efforts to achieve one million error-free quantum computer operations by 2026. Riverlane’s Deltaflow™ technology, which includes proprietary QEC chips and software, aims to significantly enhance the reliability of quantum computers by correcting billions of errors per second.
Steve Brierley, Riverlane’s Founder and CEO, emphasized the significance of this milestone: “Quantum error correction is essential for the leap from error-prone machines to reliable, large-scale quantum computers. Our partners recognize the transformative potential of our solutions.”
The funding will support Riverlane’s expansion and accelerate development, enabling new applications in various industries, including pharmaceuticals and materials science. Riverlane collaborates with leading quantum computing firms and national labs to advance its technology.
Editorial Perspective:
Riverlane’s substantial Series C funding reflects the growing recognition of quantum error correction as a critical enabler for the future of quantum computing.
