Quobly

As the #AIActionSummit wraps up in Paris, the spotlight has been on the transformative power of AI. In the background, another revolution is also taking shape: Quantum computing. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, puts it best: "It’s the next big paradigm shift in computing, following AI." At Quobly, we believe that AI and quantum are powerful technologies that complement each other, each unlocking new possibilities the other cannot achieve alone: ➡️ For sure, today, AI speeds up quantum computing development. We use machine learning to analysis our characterization images and sort out the relevant information for technology maturation. ➡️ In the future, AI may be a useful tool to optimize quantum computing efficiency. DeepMind’s AlphaQubit has outperformed leading algorithmic decoders for system up to 241 qubits, suggesting it will be a speed up for fault tolerant on mid-sized quantum devices in the future. ➡️ Quantum has the potential to enhance AI. AI thrives on data, but when no data exists—such as when discovering new molecules, materials, or catalysts—quantum computing provides synthetic data generation that can inform AI models, as says Jack Hidary, CEO of SandBoxAQ. ➡️ Can quantum speed up machine learning or decrease the energy consumption of AI? It's still a scientific debate, there is for instance instance research on how to load the data. In any case, scaling to millions of qubits and reach full-scale quantum computing brings more opportunities for quantum to power AI. That’s where Quobly comes in. We’re building quantum processors using the same semiconductor technology as today’s silicon-based chips. By leveraging industrial fabrication techniques, we are on the fastest path to millions of qubits. As the AI Action Summit focuses on the transformative power of artificial intelligence, quantum computing is already laying the foundation for the next computing era. AI is Changing the World. Quantum is Next.

What do quantum algorithms have to do with the circular carbon economy?   Regardless of which climate scenario you look at, the next ten years will be decisive in removing CO2 from the atmosphere. According to Boston Consulting Group (BCG), some of the earliest real-world applications for quantum might also be the most impactful in terms of GHG emissions.   Despite the hundreds of carbon capture and storage projects underway around the globe, burying captured carbon (carbon sequestration) doesn’t go far enough.   To move toward a more circular carbon economy, carbon must be recycled into molecules of interest for products like fuels and construction materials by means of complex chemical reactions that will require new catalysts.   And catalysts take time to design and develop. Time the planet doesn’t have.   Quantum will speed up computational catalysis, an approach that uses computer models to predict the behavior of potential catalysts by determining the electronic energy states involved in a given chemical reaction. For large molecular systems, the complexity of this kind of calculation increases exponentially.   This is where quantum computing excels.   Our latest blog post outlines where Quobly stands on quantum for the climate and explains how we plan to address computational catalysis sooner rather than later.

Quobly is excited to be sponsoring Quantum.Tech's Qatar 2025 conference this week. Our very own Francois Perruchot will be talking about Quobly's path to commercialization. Here's what he is saying: - At Quobly, we’re building quantum computers with a clear vision: scalability and affordability. We believe that quantum computing can only transform industries when it achieves true scale—millions of qubits, not just a few hundred. - How are we making this happen? By leveraging the same semiconductor manufacturing processes that have revolutionized classical computing for decades. These techniques are proven, reliable, and already operating at the scale required to build the processors in your smartphones. - This approach means we’re not just building a quantum computer; we’re building one that can be mass-produced. Our technology roadmap is laser-focused on transitioning from proof-of-concept to industrial-scale production. - We are keeping our customer's needs at the center of our activity. To provide great systems will solve currently intractable problems, we will need to reach full-scale FTQC power.
