• Collaboration will leverage ST’s 28nm FD-SOI commercial semiconductor volume manufacturing processes to pave the way towards cost-competitive, large-scale quantum computing solutions.
• Quobly and ST envision the first generation of commercial products to be available by 2027, targeting applicative markets including materials development and systems modeling.
Quobly (quobly.io), a cutting-edge quantum computing startup, today announced a transformative collaboration with STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, to produce quantum processor units (QPUs) at scale. By leveraging STMicroelectronics’ advanced FD-SOI semiconductor process technologies, this collaboration is set to make large-scale quantum computing feasible and cost-effective, positioning both companies at the forefront of next-generation computing technologies.
Quobly aims to break the 1-million-qubit barrier by 2031, targeting applications ranging from pharmaceuticals, finance, materials science and complex systems modeling, including climate and fluid dynamics simulations. Together, the two companies aim to achieve a breakthrough in quantum computing by utilizing their common expertise in FD-SOI, driving down R&D costs, and addressing the market’s demand for scalable, affordable quantum computing processors.
In the first phase of the collaboration, Quobly and ST will adapt ST’s 28nm FD-SOI process to match Quobly’s requirements, targeting a 100 Qubit Quantum Machine with proof of scalability beyond 100k physical qubits. ST will leverage its integrated device manufacturer model to bring Quobly its ability to bridge co-design, prototyping, industrialization and volume production at scale in 300mm fabs using FD-SOI, a technology it has developed and exploited commercially for years across automotive, industrial and consumer applications.
