Quobly is charting a realistic path toward a large-scale quantum computer using proven semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Quobly’s vision of quantum computing
Quantum fabs will be familiar, not futuristic.
The semiconductor industry perfected its manufacturing processes over decades to get to where it is today.
At Quobly, we believe that borrowing the tried and tested processes that have been used to make billions of high-performance semiconductor devices is the fastest, most efficient way to scale a quantum processor in years, not decades.
a not-so-quantum leap
Why silicon makes sense for quantum
Today’s chip industry is the result of decades spent honing manufacturing processes to meet the needs of volume markets—a long and capital-intensive process. Quantum, on the other hand, will serve niche markets, making investment on such a massive scale hard to justify. We believe that leveraging existing semiconductor processes is the best way to achieve competitive per-qubit costs within a reasonable timeframe.
No quantum startup is closer to the semiconductor industry
Quobly’s team feels just as at home in a semiconductor fab as in a physics lab. In fact, the company’s founders are world-renowned quantum experts with proven out-of-the-lab track records in the semiconductor industry with market leaders like STMicroelectronics and the IBM Alliance. And Quobly’s wafer technology of choice, FD-SOI, was born in the company’s home city of Grenoble, France.
Quantum is a new computing paradigm
New AI models are pushing demand for computing resources—and costs—through the roof. Our quantum processing units—QPUs—can solve complex problems resource-efficiently. The impacts on AI, materials science, drug discovery, and energy systems could be huge. This is what we believe makes quantum so promising and exciting.
Life at Quobly
Silicon spin qubits on proven semiconductor substrate FD-SOI are at the heart of our QPU.
One size does not fit all. We encourage diverse candidates with eclectic backgrounds to apply.
A spinoff of CEA-Leti and CNRS, quantum computing company Quobly was founded in European semiconductor hotspot Grenoble, France, in November 2022.
Quobly's growing team is rapidly building a company and an entire ecosystem capable of getting its silicon quantum processor into fabs within the decade.
Quobly completed a €19 million seed round and received a €2.5M EIC Transition grant in July 2023. This was the largest seed round of any European quantum startup at that time in terms of the amount of private equity invested.
Quobly's quantum processing unit is backed by robust intellectual property.
