QMatter.xyz – Automattic customer – (United Kingdom)
Startups in emerging tech use .xyz domains to establish their online presence. Energy technology company Superheat.xyz develops compute-powered thermal systems for homes and businesses. Immersive audio platform Holophonix.xyz advances spatial sound technology for creative and live environments. Nonprofit network College.xyz connects student talent with companies shaping the future of blockchain and innovation. In this week’s #WebsiteWednesday, we’ll introduce you to a quantum compression startup working to make complex computational problems faster and less expensive to solve: QMatter.xyz.
QMatter.xyz is the online home of QMatter, a London, England and Boston, MA-based quantum computing startup founded in 2024. According to the website, QMatter develops quantum compression technology that reduces industrial-scale computational problems to run efficiently on current and near-term quantum hardware and conventional computing systems. In April 2026, QMatter raised $1.2M in pre-seed funding, led by 55 North, with participation from XTX Ventures, Bellstate Oy, and the Conception X Angel Syndicate.1
QMatter’s About page describes the company’s mission as “achieving more with less.” The website states that QMatter’s technology distills computational problems into a smaller, more manageable form, making them faster and less expensive to solve while retaining their most essential features. For challenges that were previously out of reach, the approach is designed to reduce them to a size where solutions become possible. QMatter’s platform is geared to adapt to available hardware, from laptops to large supercomputers and the latest quantum systems, and the company serves both quantum hardware companies and industrial clients seeking high-performance solutions.
The startup is co-founded by Dr. Alexis Ralli and Dr. Timothy Weaving, who met while completing their PhDs at University College London.2 According to Dr. Ralli’s LinkedIn profile, Dr. Ralli serves as CEO and previously worked as a Medicinal Chemist at GSK and as a Postdoctoral Scholar at Tufts University, with a research background in computational chemistry and quantum computational chemistry (the study of chemical systems using quantum mechanical principles). According to Dr. Weaving’s LinkedIn profile, Dr. Weaving serves as CTO and conducted his doctoral research at University College London (UCL) focused on quantum algorithms for electronic structure (the arrangement of electrons in a molecule, which determines how it behaves and reacts), including error mitigation, measurement reduction, and qubit subspace techniques (methods that focus a quantum computer’s processing power on the most relevant portion of a problem).
Dr. Ralli and Dr. Weaving are part of a growing community of deep tech startups and researchers who make .xyz their domain of choice. With $1.2M in pre-seed funding secured and a platform designed to work across both quantum and classical hardware, QMatter is working toward real-world deployment in pharmaceutical and biotech applications. The .xyz domain leaves room for QMatter’s work to expand across industries and applications without limitation. We look forward to seeing what QMatter accomplishes as its platform moves toward industrial deployment. You can learn more by following the startup on LinkedIn, and by visiting QMatter.xyz.
