More than 1,500 attendees gathered at France Quantum 2026 as OVHcloud accelerates its research and development efforts and strengthens its Quantum Platform. The European cloud leader has begun a collaboration with Welinq to define the future of datacenters, moving beyond simply hosting quantum computers to actively building the infrastructure to network them, a system designed to create both homogeneous and heterogeneous clusters of quantum and classical resources. “The future of quantum computing is not only a matter of raw power but also depends on their ability to be networked and orchestrated within computing infrastructures,” said Tom Darras, CEO and co-founder of Welinq. This collaboration, alongside the addition of Quobly’s spin qubit technology to the OVHcloud Quantum Platform, signals a focus on flexible allocation of compute workloads and wider accessibility for organizations exploring quantum applications.
OVHcloud and Welinq Collaborate on Future Datacenter Networking
The convergence of quantum computing and established datacenter infrastructure is rapidly accelerating. OVHcloud and Welinq are collaborating to address the complex challenge of interconnecting quantum processors. This partnership, unveiled at France Quantum 2026, moves beyond simply housing quantum computers and focuses on building the networking technologies required to scale these nascent systems. The presence of over 1,500 attendees at the event indicates growing European interest in the practical application of quantum technologies. Central to this effort is Welinq’s approach to cluster design, enabling the creation of both homogeneous and heterogeneous configurations of quantum computers alongside conventional computing resources. This flexibility is crucial, as the field currently supports multiple qubit modalities; Welinq’s solution avoids prematurely committing to a single technology. The collaboration aims to support the flexible allocation of compute workloads, directing tasks to the most appropriate platform based on the specific use case and the ongoing evolution of quantum hardware.
OVHcloud’s commitment extends to integrating Quobly’s quantum computer, Alloy Pioneer, into its Quantum Platform later this year. This addition, alongside QPUs from Pasqal and Belenos from Quandela, will offer a diverse range of quantum technologies accessible through a model. Quobly’s technology, based on spin qubits on silicon and utilizing 300mm FD-SOI wafers, aims to leverage existing semiconductor manufacturing standards for increased scalability. “Our goal is to make quantum computing available for users in their usual compute environments,” said Maud Vinet, CEO and co-founder of Quobly, emphasizing the importance of compatibility with existing infrastructure. Miroslaw Klaba, Research & Development Director for OVHcloud, affirmed the company’s dedication to innovation, stating, “We are delighted to work with Welinq to design the datacenters of tomorrow to the benefit of the European quantum computing ecosystem.”

Quobly’s Silicon-Based QPU Joins OVHcloud Quantum Platform
The rapidly evolving quantum computing sector is witnessing a diversification of hardware approaches, moving beyond superconducting qubits to explore alternative technologies with potential scalability advantages. OVHcloud’s Quantum Platform is now expanding its offerings to include a quantum processing unit (QPU) from Quobly, a French firm developing spin qubits on silicon; this addition signifies a broadening of the platform’s technological base and a commitment to supporting multiple qubit modalities. Unlike many current quantum computers reliant on exotic materials and complex fabrication, Quobly leverages established semiconductor manufacturing techniques, specifically 300mm FD-SOI wafers, aiming to streamline production and integration with existing computing infrastructure. This focus on industrial compatibility is a key differentiator for Quobly’s technology, potentially accelerating the path toward practical quantum applications. The company’s first commercially available quantum computer, Alloy Pioneer, designed and developed entirely in France, is slated to become available on OVHcloud’s sovereign cloud later this year, marking a first for commercial deployment. OVHcloud’s strategy extends beyond simply hosting diverse QPUs; the company is actively collaborating with Welinq to define the infrastructure required for interconnecting quantum computers.
