Insider Brief

  • OVHcloud announced a partnership with Welinq to explore networked quantum computing architectures and future quantum data center designs.
  • The collaboration will focus on connecting and orchestrating quantum computers across different qubit modalities to support scalable hybrid quantum-classical computing.
  • OVHcloud also confirmed that Quobly’s first commercial quantum computer, Alloy Pioneer, is expected to join its Quantum Platform by the end of 2026.

PRESS RELEASE — European leader in the cloud and co-founding member of France Quantum, is participating in the fifth edition of the event. With more than 1,500 visitors and 60 speakers, France Quantum 2026 brings together European specialists in quantum computing for a day of conferences and discussions to take stock of the latest technological advances and their use cases. Octave Klaba, founder and CEO of OVHcloud, will be on stage to discuss advances in the quantum ecosystem and announce developments in OVHcloud.

OVHcloud works with Welinq on the data centers of tomorrow

As part of its research and development initiatives, OVHcloud is entering into a collaboration with Welinq aimed at the interconnection and orchestration of quantum computer networking technologies from different qubit modalities to think about the data centers of the future. 

Designed for scaling up quantum computing technologies, the Welinq solution enables the creation of homogeneous or heterogeneous clusters of quantum computers with classical resources. This research approach will make it possible to flexibly allocate computing loads to the most suitable platforms according to use cases and the evolution of quantum technologies.

“The future of quantum computing will not only depend on the power of quantum computers, but on their ability to be networked and orchestrated within computing infrastructures. We are proud to see OVHcloud among the first players to deploy this new generation of technologies and to contribute with us to the emergence of future quantum data centers”, said Tom Darras, CEO and co-founder of Welinq.” 

“For OVHcloud, European precursor of the quantum Cloud, innovation is a central value. We look forward to working with Welinq to take the next step in designing the data centers of tomorrow for the benefit of the European quantum computing ecosystem, said Miroslaw Klaba, OVHcloud Research & Development Director”.

Quobly’s first quantum computer will join OVHcloud’s Quantum Plaftorm at the end of 2026

Announced at the OVHcloud Summit 2025, OVHcloud’s Quantum Platform offers an “as-a-service” mode of consumption of the various QPUs it offers with the aim of democratizing uses among public and private organizations. Already including Pasqal‘s QPU and Quandela‘s with Belenos, the Quantum Platform will offer quantum technology developed by Quobly. 

Based on silicon spin qubits, Quobly’s technology is based on industrial semiconductor standards, using FD-SOI technology on 300 mm wafers. This approach aims to make quantum computing industrializable, compatible with existing computing infrastructures and capable of scaling up.

“Our goal is to make quantum computing accessible to users in their usual computing environments. By joining OVHcloud’s Quantum Platform, we are preparing the arrival of new simulation and hybrid computing capabilities which will allow researchers and manufacturers to explore applications hitherto beyond the reach of traditional architectures”, indicated Maud Vinet, CEO and co-founder of Quobly.” 

Scheduled for the end of 2026, Quobly’s first commercial quantum computer, Alloy Pioneer, is designed and developed in France and will ultimately be accessible on OVHcloud’s sovereign cloud as a world first. 

Keep track of everything going on in the Quantum Technology Market. In one place.
