January 18, 2026, 12:06 AM EST. Quobly of Grenoble and TNO of Delft have formed a research collaboration to speed up the industrialization of silicon-based quantum computing. The alliance targets the materials-to-manufacturing bottleneck by linking device engineering with materials science to improve yield and performance of silicon spin qubits. The plan includes identifying and mitigating defect mechanisms, shortening development loops through faster iteration, and optimizing designs for large-scale fabrication. Quobly contributes CMOS-compatible qubit design and fabrication know-how, with ties to STMicroelectronics; TNO brings cryogenic testing and advanced materials analysis via its Quantum Information Technology Test Facility (QITT). The effort aims to move beyond lab 'hero devices' toward reproducible, high-yield production, reinforcing a France-Netherlands quantum corridor.
