Quobly and Orange Quantum Systems sign MoU to advance automated testing of silicon spin qubits

Grenoble, France / Delft, Netherlands – September 2, 2026 – Quobly, a French quantum computing company developing silicon spin qubit processors for industrial-scale deployment, and Orange Quantum Systems (OrangeQS), a company based in Delft specializing in automated diagnostics and high-throughput test systems for solid-state quantum chips, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on the characterization and testing of silicon spin qubit devices at scale.

The cooperation combines Quobly’s silicon spin qubit technology, developed on a manufacturable 300 mm FD-SOI platform, with OrangeQS’s expertise in diagnostics, measurement protocols and automated test systems for solid-state quantum chips. The partners will work together to develop the measurement methodologies and test capabilities needed as silicon spin qubits move toward industrial manufacturing.

 

Making quantum testing scalable

As quantum processors scale to increasing numbers of qubits, industrial quantum manufacturing requires testing capabilities that scale with them – combining automation, reproducibility and the throughput needed to characterize large numbers of devices. These measurements provide the data needed to monitor device performance and process variability.

For silicon spin qubits, this means systematically measuring the parameters that determine device performance and understanding how they vary across devices and wafers.

The cooperation will focus on developing the characterization methodologies and testing capabilities required to support the industrialization of silicon spin qubits.

 

From measurement to high-throughput testing

OrangeQS brings expertise in automated diagnostics and high-throughput test systems for solid-state quantum chips. Quobly contributes its silicon spin qubit technology, device specifications and test wafers.

The partners will work toward an automated, high-throughput test environment for the characterization and screening of silicon spin qubit devices.

For Quobly, this is a practical part of building the infrastructure required to industrialize its quantum processors. Manufacturing at 300 mm requires testing and characterization capabilities that can operate at a comparable level of throughput and reproducibility.

These capabilities will enable Quobly to evaluate device performance, identify sources of variability and support the development of larger quantum processors

For OrangeQS, this intended collaboration brings a partner with a shared vision on the industrialization of quantum computing, together with in-depth expertise and a proven track record in high-end silicon spin qubit technology. Access to Quobly’s device specifications, test wafers and industrial-scale roadmap strengthens OrangeQS’s ability to build and validate testing solutions for the next generation of spin qubit devices.

Maud Vinet, CEO and co-founder of Quobly, said: “We are building quantum computers at industrial scale. That means solving the engineering challenges behind the qubit as seriously as we solve the qubit itself. Our cooperation with OrangeQS brings automated testing and characterization into that effort, helping us build the capabilities needed to qualify silicon spin qubits at scale.”

 

Garrelt Alberts, Executive Director of Orange Quantum Systems, said: “The rapid advances in spin qubit technology have moved the industry to a point where automated testing is no longer a future requirement but an immediate necessity. Through our collaboration with Quobly, we can ensure that OrangeQS MAX is optimally aligned with the needs of spin qubit developers and manufacturers. We are excited to work with a partner that combines technological leadership with a clear vision for industrialization. Together, we are also contributing to a stronger European quantum ecosystem, built on close cooperation between leading French and Dutch innovators.”

 

The MoU was signed in Eindhoven on September 2, 2026, during the Franco-Dutch working lunch on “Bridging the Tech Gap”, attended by French President Emmanuel Macron and Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten, highlighting the growing cooperation between French and Dutch companies and research organizations in quantum and semiconductor technologies.

About Quobly

Quobly is building the first industrially scalable quantum computer by combining silicon spin qubits with advanced semiconductor manufacturing. Founded in 2022 in Grenoble, France, the company has developed a unique co-design approach with STMicroelectronics, bringing quantum processors and cryogenic control electronics onto a proven 300mm FD-SOI manufacturing platform and enabling an approach in which the quantum-computing capacity can scale through semiconductor-style integration and manufacturing.

Quobly’s Alloy product family combines a commercial product roadmap with a long-term scaling strategy: first cloud access from the end of 2026 for high-performance computing and research users, and a target of one million qubits by 2032. This roadmap applies the same VLSI (Very Large-Scale Integration) principle that transformed classical computing: increasing computational capacity through semiconductor integration rather than increases in physical infrastructure. This creates a path toward predictable system footprint, energy requirements, manufacturing economics and customer ROI as quantum computing scales.

The company leverages Europe’s industrial semiconductor ecosystem, building and securing a Si-28 value chain with strategic partners including Air Liquide, Soitec and Orano to accelerate the industrialization of its quantum processors, reduce deployment risk and support long-term scalability.

In June 2026, Quobly raised a €115 million Series A led by Bpifrance, STMicroelectronics and SEALSQ, with participation from leading industrial and deeptech investors, to accelerate the commercialization of its Alloy product family. With more than 100 employees, Quobly is headquartered in Grenoble, France, with subsidiaries in Singapore and Canada.
