Quobly, previously Siquance, has raised €19m in a seed funding round to develop quantum processors based on silicon spin qubits. The round was led by Quantonation and Bpifrance, with contributions from Supernova Invest, Innovacom, Crédit Agricole Alpes Development, CEA Investment, Caisse d’Epargne Rhone Alpes, and BNP Paribas. The funds will double Quobly’s R&D efforts, establish remote access interfaces for software development, and recruit top international experts. The company aims to become a global leader in quantum computing, leveraging standard computing technologies to define quantum bits.
Quobly’s Quantum Computing Innovation
Founded in 2022 in Grenoble, Quobly is dedicated to developing fault-tolerant quantum computing processors. The company’s innovative approach involves using standard computing technologies to define quantum bits, the basic units of quantum computing. The company aims to become a significant player in the global quantum computing industry.
The funds raised in this round will enable Quobly to form technological partnerships, establish a reference partner ecosystem, and accelerate its research and development in the pursuit of quantity and quality of quantum bits. Quobly is recruiting top international silicon technologies and quantum engineering experts to employ 50 people by the end of 2024. This funding round is considered the largest “seed” round ever achieved by a European quantum company in terms of private capital invested.
Quobly plans to use this initial round of funding to speed up its technological developments and establish itself as a significant player in the technology industry. The company has the backing of well-known sectoral experts from Quantonation, Bpifrance, Supernova Invest, and Innovacom. Other partners, including the State-managed Deep Tech 2030 fund, Quantonation I fund, and Bpifrance, have also expressed their strong support for Quobly’s ambitious projects.
