Quint Computing raises funding to tackle errors in quantum chips
FAU spinout Quint Computing, founded in October 2025 by Christopher Eichler, Michael Hartmann and Jona Stinner, adds a 2.2 million euro EIC grant to its Vsquared-led round for a superconducting processor designed to suppress most errors in hardware.

Why it matters
Quint Computing says its circuit design suppresses most errors on the chip, leaving correction algorithms to catch what remains. Quint Computing's site says conventional correction can require hundreds to thousands of redundancies for each reliable qubit, so hardware-level suppression could reduce the cost, size and energy needs of useful quantum machines if the design works as projected. The round also shows European deep-tech capital backing a university spinout developing a quantum processor architecture.
Christopher Eichler has spent his career trying to make superconducting quantum processors behave. Now the FAU Erlangen professor and Quint Computing co-founder and CEO has 9.1 million euros in initial funding to test whether that work can become a company, in a round reported by Tech.eu on November 3rd, 2026.…
