Quandela
About
Quandela is the European leader in photonic quantum computing, using single-photon sources and room-temperature operation.
February 2025: Major breakthrough - 100,000x reduction in components needed for fault-tolerant calculations. Reduces manufacturing costs and energy consumption (systems expected <1MW).
October 2025: Delivered Lucy (12-qubit) to CEA's TGCC for EuroHPC. 80% European-sourced components including all critical parts.
November 2025: OVHcloud to offer Quandela systems (BELENOS 12-qubit, CANOPUS 24-qubit) via cloud mid-2026. MerLin quantum ML language coming to OVHcloud.
July 2025: Mila (Quebec AI Institute) partnership for quantum ML. Seoul Metropolitan Government partnership for 128-qubit quantum center. Franco-German Quantum Dialogue participation.
Preparing fundraising of several hundred million euros. Total funding: €107M+.
