Quobly validated qubit readout and gate operations on chips fabricated at STMicroelectronics' 300mm Crolles facility and expanded access to CEA-Leti's FAMES pilot line, while also signing partnerships with Orange Quantum Systems for testing and Absolut System for cryogenic cooling. Alice & Bob and CEA announced software linking quantum processors to supercomputers to avoid NVIDIA-style ecosystem lock-in, and Quandela published a white paper on integrating photonic QPUs with NVIDIA infrastructure as specialized accelerators. Pasqal reported 14% first-half revenue growth to €4.9 million alongside a €59.2 million operating loss, and ended its participation in the French defense program LSQUARE to focus on commercial applications. Thales, Bull, and CEA began a five-year defense software project called Aliquante, and C12 and Thales unveiled QuantumTrack for radar tracking. Quandela also signed international deals in Vietnam and Canada and is exploring manufacturing ties with Samsung and SK Hynix. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Quobly demonstrated qubit readout, single-qubit gates, and two-qubit gates on a silicon chip fabricated using its proprietary QSOI technology at STMicroelectronics' commercial 300mm manufacturing facility in Crolles, France, using FD-SOI CMOS technology. This provided an initial validation that key quantum operations can be performed on devices made through a standard industrial semiconductor production process, supporting a path toward scalable manufacturing. _Developers tracking industrial-scale quantum hardware progress can follow chip manufacturing milestones like this on daily.dev._ ### Why did Pasqal end its participation in the French defense program LSQUARE? Pasqal terminated its involvement in LSQUARE, also known as PROQCIMA, after completing all technological objectives of the program's first phase, choosing instead to focus its collaboration with French public authorities on commercial applications in line with its growth strategy. Pasqal thanked the DGA for its support during that first phase before shifting priorities toward commercial quantum deployments. _Anyone weighing how defense-funded research transitions to commercial quantum products can follow updates like this on daily.dev._ ### How much revenue did Pasqal report for the first half of 2026? Pasqal reported €4.9 million in first-half 2026 revenue, up 14% year over year, with QPU-related services revenue rising 34% to €3.9 million. The company also reported €70.4 million in booked and awarded business as of June 30, an operating loss of €59.2 million, and €110.8 million in cash and cash equivalents. _Investors evaluating quantum computing company financials can track figures like these on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [French National Quantum Update: June 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/french-national-quantum-update-june-2026-eg7vxqrmx) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [France bets €500 million that quantum computing is the tech race Europe can finally win](https://daily.dev/posts/france-bets-500-million-that-quantum-computing-is-the-tech-race-europe-can-finally-win-4vtzdpi9m) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [French National Quantum Update: July 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/french-national-quantum-update-july-2026-hi9hhtrkp) · The Quantum Insider · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [France’s Quobly raises €115M to put a quantum computer on a silicon chip](https://daily.dev/posts/france-s-quobly-raises-115m-to-put-a-quantum-computer-on-a-silicon-chip-nd866sw26) · The Next Web · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#nvidia](https://daily.dev/tags/nvidia), [#quantum-computing](https://daily.dev/tags/quantum-computing) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/french-national-quantum-update-september-2026-qtklioyje) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"French National Quantum Update: September 2026","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/french-national-quantum-update-september-2026-qtklioyje","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/french-national-quantum-update-september-2026-qtklioyje"},"datePublished":"2026-09-30T09:10:04.950Z","dateModified":"2026-09-30T09:10:30.422Z","description":"France's quantum industry news for September 2026 centers on manufacturing and software integration efforts to bring quantum computers into wider commercial...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/48ee2980c89684d2b3e962786d275b16?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/48ee2980c89684d2b3e962786d275b16?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Quantum Insider","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Quantum Insider","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/7b14a6b34c1b464c9e8a88d9a0dac951","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/french-national-quantum-update-september-2026-qtklioyje","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"nvidia,quantum-computing","timeRequired":"PT10M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Quantum Insider","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"French National Quantum Update: September 2026"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/french-national-quantum-update-september-2026-qtklioyje#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What did Quobly demonstrate on chips made at STMicroelectronics' commercial 300mm facility?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Quobly demonstrated qubit readout, single-qubit gates, and two-qubit gates on a silicon chip fabricated using its proprietary QSOI technology at STMicroelectronics' commercial 300mm manufacturing facility in Crolles, France, using FD-SOI CMOS technology.
