Quobly, the French startup developing large-scale quantum processors based on silicon qubits, has inaugurated a new quantum chip test/characterization facility and expanded offices in Grenoble’s BHT3 high-tech innovation hub. This strategic move accelerates Quobly’s product development cycle and enhances its capacity to scale toward millions of qubits, marking a significant step toward industrialization. The new facility enables a 10x increase in testing speeds, a 50x boost in wafer processing volumes, and a 3x faster design-to-testing cycle, transitioning Quobly from research-driven workflows to scalable industrial production. These advancements will help speed up the time needed for the company to bring out new developments.
The expansion follows Quobly’s recently announced collaboration with STMicroelectronics, reinforcing its goal of producing one million physical qubits by 2031. Located near key partners such as CEA-Leti, CNRS, and UGA, the BHT3 hub provides a collaborative environment for innovation and sustainable growth. Quobly’s CEO, Maud Vinet, emphasized the facility’s role in advancing fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) and meeting customer demands for scalable quantum processors.
With a tripled team size of 70 collaborators and a global presence, Quobly is positioning itself as a leader in quantum computing industrialization. The new facility underscore its commitment to leveraging semiconductor expertise to bring quantum computing closer to practical applications.
