Noise-learning quantum-error-mitigation software for noisy gate-model quantum processors. Flagship product QESEM (Quantum Error Suppression and Error Mitigation) characterises a device's noise, suppresses some error classes during execution, and corrects the residual bias in post-processing; delivered as an IBM Qiskit Function and demonstrated on IBM Eagle and Heron devices. Founded in Tel Aviv in 2020 by Asif Sinay (CEO), Dorit Aharonov (Hebrew University), and Netanel Lindner (Technion). Closed a USD 26M Series A in July 2025 led by Glilot+ with IBM, TPY Capital, and Korea Investment Partners participating.
