Quantum startup Zhengyuan raises near-$14M angel round for 1,000-qubit superconducting machines
量子位 · wechat · 2026-11-10
Zhengyuan Quantum, founded in 2026, closed a near-100M RMB ($14M) angel round backed by Shenzhen Capital Group, Pudong Venture Capital, and others, aiming at 1,000-qubit superconducting quantum computers.
The company attacks the scaling bottleneck at the chip-interconnect level: TSV through-silicon vias and 3D integrated packaging route signals vertically, easing the edge-routing constraint, alongside high-density wiring, cryogenic control systems, and quantum EDA tools.
Founder Zheng Yarui (PhD from CAS Institute of Physics under USTC's Zhu Xiaobo) worked on solving linear equations on superconducting quantum chips; co-founder Wu Dachao contributed to USTC's Zuchongzhi-3. The company has already won orders for traveling-wave parametric amplifiers and quantum chips, and plans a cloud platform for materials simulation and drug-discovery workloads.
