About Turing Quantum

Turing Quantum, established in Shanghai in 2021 by founder Jin Xianmin, is a company focused on the photonic quantum computing sector. The company's origins trace back to the Integrated Quantum Information Technology Research Center at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where the core team accumulated over a decade of experience in optical quantum information and photonic chips. This round of financing was allocated for the advancement of their quantum computing chips and computers.

The company has successfully secured significant funding across multiple rounds, including a seed round in May 2021, a Series A in January 2023, and a Series B round of $13.9M in July 2025, bringing its total raised capital to $92.9M. This financial backing comes from a diverse group of at least 13 investors, including notable names like Lenovo Capital and Incubator Group, China Internet Investment Fund, and Legend Capital.

Turing Quantum's business is centered on the full-stack research, development, and industrialization of photonic quantum information technologies. The company's product portfolio includes optical quantum chips, complete optical quantum computers like the "TuringQ Gen1," and a quantum cloud platform. It develops solutions for various industries by providing a heterogeneous hybrid computing foundation that combines supercomputing, intelligent computing, and quantum capabilities. Their offerings cater to sectors such as finance for portfolio optimization and risk analysis; biopharmaceuticals for drug discovery; and government and energy for enhanced security through quantum encryption. A key product is the TuringQ Quantum-Inspired Hybrid Solver (QIH Solver), which merges quantum-inspired algorithms with classical methods to tackle complex combinatorial optimization problems.

The company's strategy involves creating a complete ecosystem, from hardware like 3D ultra-high-speed photonic quantum computing chips to software platforms. These platforms include the QuantumPeak Quantum Computing Development Platform, a classical-quantum hybrid architecture, and DeepQuantum, a programming framework for quantum machine learning. Turing Quantum also provides solutions for intelligent transportation and develops talent through quantum education programs. Reports in September 2025 indicated that TuringQ had delivered some of its photonic systems to the Chinese military's Cyberspace Force.
