The first chips will be available in early 2023.
According to Quandela, its quantum photonics technology has many advantages over other quantum technologies; for example, photons are not sensitive to perturbations in their environment, allowing photonic processors to operate largely at room temperature. In addition, the quality of the single-photon source developed by Quandela makes it possible to remove the theoretical barriers to the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers.
With CEA-Leti, Quandela plans to develop a full-stack quantum computer, in the mid-term, according to company co-founder Niccolo Somaschi, followed by a fault-tolerant quantum computer in the longer term.
In addition to its photonic computer programming and simulation software, Perceval, Quandela offers a cybersecurity enhancement solution with a 2-qubit processor. It plans to make its 6-qubit noisy intermediate-scale quantum computer available in the cloud this fall.
