Quantum Machines Buys PCB Engineering, Adding 40 Staff in 2nd European Deal in 6 Weeks
3 articles · Updated · CTech · Jun 17
Summary
PCB Engineering will give Quantum Machines a new Budapest R&D hub and 40 employees, extending the Israeli quantum-control company’s European engineering base.
The acquisition is its second in Europe in six weeks, following last month’s purchase of TU Delft spin-off QHarbor and the opening of a Delft office.
Quantum Machines said the push comes as competition intensifies to build fault-tolerant quantum systems; its control hardware and software are used by more than half of quantum computing companies.
The deal expands a footprint that now spans 22 countries, after a $170 million Series C in 2025 lifted total funding to $280 million.
As an Israeli firm acquires key EU quantum tech, who truly controls Europe's path to a quantum future?
In the quantum race, will acquiring control systems prove more critical than simply building better qubits?
