Project description
Scalable chips for the next computing era
Europe stands at the threshold of a quantum revolution. As AI and big data push classical computing to its limits, the need for a new computational paradigm has never been clearer. In this context, the EIC-funded MCQube project, led by the French company Quobly, is developing scalable quantum processors built on Europe’s existing semiconductor technology. Their approach uses silicon spin qubits integrated with on-chip control electronics. It is a design compatible with standard CMOS manufacturing. Overall, MCQube’s technology could bring quantum computing from the lab to industry. With milestones including multi-qubit chips and plans for 100-qubit systems by 2027, the project aims to make Europe a global leader in quantum innovation.
Objective
At Quobly, we are charting a realistic path toward large-scale quantum computers using our proven semiconductor manufacturing processes. Our solution addresses the critical need for a new computing paradigm in the face of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence and big data technologies. We have developed silicon spin qubits with integrated on-chip control electronics, implemented on CMOS FD-SOI technology. Our ground breaking innovation, protected by 40 patents, is the result of two decades of rigorous European research and development. Our methodology involves modifying only 10% of standard semiconductor fabrication processes, enabling us to leverage existing infrastructure for the efficient and cost-effective production of quantum processors. We have already achieved significant milestones, including the successful demonstration of one and two-qubit gates, the fabrication of four-qubit chips, and the seamless transfer of processes from our pilot line to a commercial foundry. We have set ambitious targets in our development roadmap, aiming to demonstrate a 100 physical qubit chip by 2027 and a 1000 logical qubit chip by 2030. These advancements will facilitate real-world applications of quantum computing in medical research, drug discovery, mobility optimization, energy management, and other fields critical to Europe's technological sovereignty and economic competitiveness. Quantum computing offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Europe to leap ahead in the global tech race. With EIC Accelerator support, we will ensure that the next wave of world-changing innovations will be made in Europe
