Quandela is actively seeking partnerships with major Korean semiconductor firms like Samsung and SK hynix to leverage their precision manufacturing capabilities for scaling photonic quantum chips. This strategic move highlights the industry's shift toward hybrid approaches, combining European quantum expertise with Asian fabrication strengths to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computing goals. The initiative underscores that future quantum progress will likely depend on deep cross-border collaboration rather than independent vertical integration.
Quandela eyes Korean firms to build photonic quantum chips
Quandela, a French firm building quantum computers with photons, seeks Korean partners—including Samsung, SK hynix, and LG Innotek—to advance manufacturing of its technology.
Image: Original reporting by Jang Hyeong-Im for Seoul Economic Daily · en.sedaily.com Quandela, a French firm building quantum computers on single photons, intends to identify Korean partners within two years to advance chip manufacturing and system integration, the company says. Chief executive Niccolo Somaschi outlined the strategy at a press conference in Seoul, emphasizing a need for semiconductor-grade precision to scale performance. “Combining Quandela’s quantum computing expertise with Korea’s semiconductor manufacturing technology would be a strong fit,” Somaschi said, naming…
