About us


QMill will trigger the era of practical quantum advantage with new quantum algorithms for the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era.

A world-leading quantum-algorithm developer


We want to engage with the highest-potential customers to demonstrate the benefits of quantum algorithms for their own business.


Our proof-of-concept algorithms can run either on simulators or real, existing noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers.

Our investors & partners


We have acquired EUR 4M in seed funding from three venture capital investors: Maki.vc, Antler and Kvanted. Additionally, we have secured an almost EUR 1M grant from Business Finland, a government-sponsored agency that promotes innovation, trade, and investment in Finland.
