French quantum firms report manufacturing and software progress
In September 2026, France's quantum computing sector advanced on several fronts. Quobly tested silicon quantum chips built at a leading commercial fab, verified key chip functions, and signed agreements on testing and cryogenic cooling. Alice & Bob, Quandela, and public research groups worked on software to connect quantum tech with traditional supercomputers. Quandela also pushed photonic processor integration and expanded deals in Vietnam and Canada.
- Quobly validated silicon quantum chips at STMicroelectronics
- Agreements reached on scalable testing and cryogenic cooling
- Alice & Bob, Quandela working on hybrid quantum-classical software
- Quandela planning integration with NVIDIA infrastructure
- French firms expand partnerships in Vietnam and Canada
