Executive appointments
Tristan Meunier – Co-founder & Chief Innovation Officer
Tristan Meunier is appointed Chief Innovation Officer, where he will ensure the coherence of Quobly’s quantum roadmap and lead the company’s innovation strategy by identifying and integrating breakthrough scientific advances. A physicist trained in quantum engineering, he completed his PhD under Nobel Prize laureate Serge Haroche at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at TU Delft with Lieven Vandersypen on spin qubits. Tristan went on to build Grenoble’s spin qubit community at CNRS, secured an ERC Starting Grant in 2015, and in 2019 took responsibility for the CNRS silicon qubit computing program. With Maud Vinet, he jointly received a €14M ERC Synergy Grant in 2019 and co-founded Quobly in 2022. Author of over 120 scientific publications (H-index: 37), Tristan combines deep expertise in quantum physics with a strong international research network. In his new role, he will ensure Quobly remains at the forefront of quantum science and innovation.
Jean-Charles Barbé – Chief Technology Officer
Jean-Charles Barbé joins Quobly as Chief Technology Officer, responsible for validating and securing Quobly’s quantum modules through both experimental and quantum information approaches. With more than 20 years at CEA-Leti, he held successive leadership positions in simulation and modeling, technology development transfer with GlobalFoundries in Dresden, and as Scientific Director of the Silicon Components Division. Since 2021, he has been Leti’s Quantum Program Director, shaping national and European roadmaps, co-leading initiatives within the Quantum Flagship and PEPR, and serving on the Quantum Coordination Board. He has played a central role in structuring the French and European quantum ecosystem, bridging fundamental research with industrial applications. At Quobly, Jean-Charles brings a solid scientific background and proven leadership in industrial technology transfer and management, ensuring the robustness and scalability of the company’s quantum technologies.
Cyril Condemine – Chief Product Development Officer
Cyril Condemine joins Quobly as Chief Product Development Officer, where he will oversee the transformation of core technologies into scalable quantum computing products. He brings more than 20 years of experience at the intersection of R&D, engineering, and business. At CEA, he contributed to advances in sensors, electronics, and embedded systems, before co-founding and managing several deep-tech startups in augmented and virtual reality. He later served as CTO of Morphosense, driving the development and industrial deployment of structural health monitoring technologies, and played a key role in the company’s acquisition by Sercel (Viridien), where he went on to manage the Grenoble R&D site, spanning product development, industrialization, and business activities. Throughout his career, Cyril has successfully led multidisciplinary teams and managed the full technology lifecycle from lab research to customer deployment. At Quobly, he will define product architectures, integrate key technologies, and ensure end-to-end delivery of reliable solutions for users.
