OVHcloud, a European cloud computing company involved in France Quantum initiatives, is developing its work in quantum computing through two main developments intended to expand its quantum ecosystem.

OVHcloud has started a collaboration with Welinq focused on designing future data centers. The project aims to support networking technologies for quantum computers and enable coordination between different qubit types.

A key objective is to improve the scalability of quantum technologies. Welinq has developed an approach that allows the creation of homogeneous or heterogeneous clusters, combining classical computing resources with quantum computers. This is intended to support the allocation of workloads to different platforms depending on their suitability as quantum technologies evolve.

OVHcloud is involved in efforts to support quantum computing infrastructure in Europe. The collaboration with Welinq is intended to contribute to the design of data centers that can support the broader European quantum computing ecosystem.

Announced at the OVHcloud Summit in 2025, the OVHcloud Quantum Platform is designed to provide quantum processing units (QPUs) through an “as-a-service” model, with the aim of making quantum computing accessible to both public and private users.

Quobly is joining this platform with its spin qubits on silicon technology, which uses established semi-conductor manufacturing standards. The approach is based on 300mm FD-SOI wafers and is intended to support integration with existing computing infrastructure.

By late 2026, Quobly plans to release its first commercially available quantum computer, called Alloy Pioneer, on OVHcloud’s sovereign platform. The system is designed in France and is intended for use in research and industrial applications that are not easily addressed with conventional computing architectures.

Overall, these developments represent ongoing efforts by OVHcloud and its partners to build out quantum computing capabilities and supporting infrastructure.
