C12 Quantum Electronics Secures $18 Million in Series A Funding to Revolutionize Quantum Computing with Carbon Nanotubes

We are thrilled to announce that C12 Quantum Electronics has raised an impressive $18 million in its latest funding round, further fueling our mission to build reliable quantum computers. Founded in January 2020 by visionary twin brothers Matthieu and Pierre Desjardins, C12 is a promising spin-off from ENS, dedicated to transforming the landscape of quantum technology. With this new influx of capital, we plan to enhance our groundbreaking research and accelerate the development of our innovative carbon nanotube-based quantum processors. At C12, we believe that quantum computing holds the potential to revolutionize how we solve complex problems across various sectors—from pharmaceuticals to finance. However, error rates in current quantum systems hinder progress. By leveraging the simplicity and effectiveness of carbon as the foundational material of our processors, we are addressing these critical issues head-on. Our world-class team, composed of leading experts in quantum electronics and carbon nanotube science—including esteemed advisors like Dr. Takis Kontos and Dr. Matthieu Delbecq—brings unparalleled expertise to the challenge of creating a scalable quantum computing platform. This recent funding follows our successful $10 million seed round in June 2021, backed by prominent investors such as 360 Capital and Airbus Ventures. As we continue to advance, we are confident that carbon will pioneer the next significant breakthrough in quantum technology, just as silicon did for classical computing. With this fresh capital, C12 is primed to make monumental strides in the quantum realm, and we are excited about what lies ahead!
