Quobly, a quantum computing company from Grenoble in France, and TNO, a top research group from Delft in the Netherlands, have teamed up. Their goal? To make silicon-based quantum computers easier and faster to build on a large scale.
Quantum computers use special bits called qubits. Quobly makes these from silicon—the same stuff in your phone chips—using factory methods that already work great for regular computers. But qubits can be tricky. Small flaws in the material ruin them. TNO helps by using special tools to check materials in super-cold conditions and find issues fast.
Together, they’ll figure out how material issues hurt qubit performance. Problems will be corrected, testing will happen faster, and designs will be adjusted so they can be produced easily and consistently in factories—not just as single experimental models in labs..
Quobly knows silicon qubits inside out, thanks to ties with big chip makers like STMicroelectronics. TNO brings testing labs perfect for quantum gear. This mix helps turn research into real products.
Quantum computers can greatly improve artificial intelligence, expedite drug discovery, and solve complex scientific problems much faster than current technologies. This partnership brings France and the Netherlands closer together in Europe’s effort to advance quantum technology, helping move it more quickly from research labs into real-world manufacturing
