Coherence Engine secures £75k for quantum control simulation platform

Electronic design automation specialist Coherence Engine has raised an estimated £75k. Based in Cambridge, the company provides a simulation platform that models the complete quantum control stack, spanning from digital instruction timing to cryogenic analogue signal chains. These tools enable hardware teams to predict system behaviour and validate architectures while scaling toward fault-tolerant machines.

The startup was incorporated in July 2025 and currently operates with a team of four employees. This recent funding brings the total capital raised during 2026 to £325k. Its product allows engineers to design and optimise systems by modelling digital orchestration, FPGA timing and cryogenic RF signal chains before any hardware is built.

By bringing engineering rigour to the design process, the firm aims to move handcrafted laboratory experiments toward scalable, utility-scale machines. The platform is specifically targeted at developers of next-generation quantum computing systems.
