Quobly Forges Strategic Collaboration with STMicroelectronics to Accelerate its Quantum Processor Manufacturing for Large-Scale Quantum Computing Solutions
Quobly aims to break the 1-million-qubit barrier by 2031, targeting applications ranging from pharmaceuticals, finance, materials science and complex systems modeling, including climate and fluid dynamics simulations. Together, the two companies aim to achieve a breakthrough in quantum computing by utilizing their common expertise in FD-SOI, driving down R&D costs, and addressing the market's demand for scalable, affordable quantum computing processors.
In the first phase of the collaboration, Quobly and ST will adapt ST's 28nm FD-SOI process to match Quobly's requirements, targeting a 100 Qubit Quantum Machine with proof of scalability beyond 100k physical qubits. ST will leverage its integrated device manufacturer model to bring Quobly its ability to bridge co-design, prototyping, industrialization and volume production at scale in 300mm fabs using FD-SOI, a technology it has developed and exploited commercially for years across automotive, industrial and consumer applications.

Quobly is a pioneer in the development of a fault-tolerant quantum computer based on semiconductor qubits. With a breakthrough method, Quobly addresses both techno-scientific challenges as well as industrial production, paving the way for mass production of the millions of qubits essential for practical, large-scale quantum computers. Based in Grenoble, the startup is the result of 15 years of collaborative research between internationally recognized RTOs, CEA Leti and CNRS. Founded in 2022, Quobly has brought together a team of experts from the semiconductor industry and distinguished researchers in quantum technologies. In 2023, Quobly made headlines with a seed round of
19 million euros , establishing a new record for seed funding of a European startup in the quantum sector.
