Science and technology writer - Freelance

Faced with today's societal challenges, innovation is emerging as the key to our future. Imagine agriculture optimizing every drop of water thanks to ultra-precise weather forecasts or transport secured by real-time management. These advances are no longer science fiction: cutting-edge computer calculations are paving the way to solving these crucial issues.

For other issues such as identifying flaws in hydroelectric dams or classifying molecules for drug development, this is already becoming a reality thanks to QUANDELA's quantum computer.

The computer is based on our patented nanotechnology, the Quantum Dot: an artificial atom which emits photons in response to a laser. These photons are processed by our quantum processor to quickly solve complex problems with low energy consumption.

These major advances are the result of 20 years of research carried out at the CNRS by Pascale Senellart (Member of the Academy of Sciences and of the Scientific Advisory Council to the President), who along with Valérian Giesz and Niccolo Somaschi founded QUANDELA in 2017 to create a scalable quantum computer while controlling costs thanks to proven technologies: lasers and semiconductors.

We are committed to an open and community-oriented approach to science, in particular to communicating and publishing our scientific advances and making quantum computing useful and accessible to all.

This is why our full stack quantum computer is now available in an on-premises version (already two computers delivered to EXAION and OVH) but also on the cloud, allowing everyone to run quantum calculations for free from a simple Laptop.

To achieve this goal and enable our international team of +80 researchers and engineers to quickly implement their discoveries, we have raised more than 60 million euros, notably from the European Innovation Council and BPI France.
