Barcelona, 14 October 2026. Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech has completed a €19.6 million first close of its Series A funding round, led by Indra Group through IndraMind with an investment of €10 million. The Spanish Society for Technological Transformation (SETT), under the Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Administration, renewed its support with €9.6 million.
The company expects to complete the round in the final quarter of 2026 with the participation of Avançsa and other existing investors.
The funds will be used to scale and industrialize its quantum computers, develop new generations of chips, and increase manufacturing and deployment capacity, strengthening technological capabilities developed in Spain and contributing to greater European technological autonomy in quantum computing.
Marta P. Estarellas, CEO of Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech, said: "SETT’s renewed commitment and Indra’s entry bring together sovereign capital and industrial capital to protect, but also accelerate, national technological autonomy. Together, we are joining forces to bring quantum computing closer to strategic industrial sectors and to ensure that the quantum technology built in Spain continues to grow in Spain."
Ignacio Martínez, Managing Director of IndraMind, said: "Quantum computing will mark a decisive leap in the evolution of artificial intelligence and in its ability to solve problems of enormous complexity. With this transaction, Indra Group strengthens its position in this strategic field, while IndraMind expands the capabilities with which to develop sovereign and differentiated solutions for defense, security and industry."

Silicon spin qubits usually lose accuracy when many qubits are driven in parallel, a barrier to scalable quantum processors. Writing in Nature Physics, RIKEN researchers traced the main error source to AC Stark shifts from shared microwave control signals. Their pairwise phase calibration protocol restored gate fidelities above 99.99% for up to three simultaneous qubits, and about 99.9% across all five, near fault-tolerant requirements.
IonQ announced the pricing of a $2.0 billion equity offering. The offering consists of 20,500,000 shares at $40.00 per share, pre-funded warrants for 29,500,000 shares, and seven-year warrants for 100,000,000 shares at $69.46 per share.
Researchers from Rutgers, IBM and collaborators demonstrated real-time quantum feedback control on a 156-qubit Heron processor, using up to 100 connected qubits. By alternately scrambling information and resetting qubits nearly 5,000 times each, they steered the system from chaos to an ordered state, revealing a sharp phase transition.
