Omnes, a deeptech investment fund, led a €15m investment in Quandela, a company providing compact products for quantum applications. “In just a few years Quandela has established itself as a key player in the development of photonic quantum computing. We are collaborating with several European universities in the framework of the European project Photonic quantum sampling machine (Phoqusing), which will be launched in September 2020. We also sell our components to companies and research centres all over the world: Italy, Australia, Austria, the Netherlands… This fundraising will enable us to accelerate the structuring of the team and the investment in new equipment to achieve our objectives with a first step: the availability in the cloud of the first complete optical quantum computer in 2022,” Valérian Giesz, Quandela CEO and Co-Founder.
