MagiQware has secured €575,000 in pre-seed funding led by Graduate Ventures, with participation from Delft Enterprises B.V., to address a core challenge hindering the advancement of practical quantum computers. The startup is focused on optimizing a critical component of quantum error correction, and early results demonstrate up to a 40% reduction in circuit length through a novel combination of reinforcement learning and quantum compiler optimization. This improvement is an important step towards scalable and cost-effective quantum computing, as reducing resource overhead becomes increasingly vital for commercial deployment. Graduate Ventures stated that MagiQware’s potential lies in its ability to “remove a fundamental bottleneck in fault-tolerant quantum computing” by applying advanced AI techniques. The new funding will accelerate the development of MagiQware’s technology and foster collaborations within the growing quantum computing industry.
This focus allows MagiQware to position itself as a specialist software provider, offering performance improvements to full-stack quantum computing companies without requiring extensive in-house development of these complex optimization tools. The founding team, comprised of Arash Ahmadi, Shakeeb Majid, Sahar Hejazi, and Ali Moghaddam, brings a multidisciplinary skillset encompassing quantum computing, artificial intelligence, software engineering, and physics. Beyond the pre-seed round, MagiQware recently won the Holland HighTech SME Call, initiating a collaborative project with the University of Amsterdam to further develop AI-powered software for magic state factory optimization; this project aims to accelerate the commercialization of quantum computing and strengthen the Netherlands’ position in the emerging quantum technology sector. The new funding will support ongoing technology development and expand collaborations within the rapidly evolving quantum computing industry.
These factories are responsible for generating the specialized quantum states necessary to detect and correct errors, and MagiQware’s approach focuses on optimizing their efficiency through artificial intelligence. The company’s core innovation lies in combining reinforcement learning with quantum compiler optimization, dynamically improving factory performance and reducing the substantial computational demands of fault-tolerant quantum computing. This reduction is particularly important as the field transitions from theoretical research toward practical applications, where resource overhead will become a defining factor in commercial viability.
