Quantum, DNA computing
Quantum Machines raised $50.0M in a Series B round. Quantum Machines develops an orchestration platform for controlling and operating quantum processors as well as a standard universal language for quantum computers. DNA data storage startup Catalog raised $35.0M in Series B funding led by Hanwha Impact. Storing digital information in DNA has attracted interest due to the vast amounts that can be stored in a small area for extended periods of time. However, Catalog is looking beyond just storing data and aims to develop a computing platform for enterprise use where both data management and computation occur through the manipulation of synthetic DNA. Quantum Flytrap raised $0.3M in pre-seed funding from SMOK Ventures. Quantum Flytrap is developing a user interface for quantum computing and cryptography with a graphical interface compatible with any hardware. Â
