OVHcloud has announced two developments that extend its quantum computing platform. The first is a research collaboration with Welinq, focused on interconnecting quantum computers using different qubit technologies. The second brings Quobly’s silicon-qubit processor onto OVHcloud’s Quantum-as-a-Service platform, with availability expected in late 2026.
The Welinq collaboration addresses a constraint that limits the practical value of quantum hardware: individual quantum processors are powerful in isolation but difficult to link. Welinq’s technology allows clusters of quantum computers to be networked alongside classical compute resources, enabling workloads to be allocated dynamically depending on the problem type. OVHcloud describes the project as foundational infrastructure research for what quantum datacentres might eventually look like.
Tom Darras, CEO and co-founder of Welinq, explained the significance: “The future of quantum computing is not only a matter of raw power but also depends on their ability to be networked and orchestrated within computing infrastructures. We are proud to see OVHcloud amongst the first players to deploy this new generation of technologies and contribute with us to emerging future quantum datacenters.”
The Quobly addition is more immediately commercial. Quobly builds processors on spin qubits fabricated using 300mm FD-SOI silicon wafers, the same industrial semiconductor standard used in conventional chip production. The approach is designed to be compatible with existing compute infrastructure rather than requiring entirely separate operating environments. Its first product, the Alloy Pioneer, will be hosted on OVHcloud’s sovereign cloud. OVHcloud says this will be the first instance of Quobly technology offered on a sovereign cloud platform.
Maud Vinet, CEO and co-founder of Quobly, described the commercial rationale: “Our goal is to make quantum computing available for users in their usual compute environments. By joining the OVHcloud Quantum Platform, we are preparing the arrival of new simulation capacities and hybrid compute that will allow researchers and industrial players to explore applications that, up until now, were out of reach for conventional architectures.”
OVHcloud launched its Quantum Platform, which already includes hardware from Pasqal and Quandela, at its Summit in 2025. The addition of Quobly extends coverage to a third qubit technology: photonic, neutral atom, and now silicon-based. The sovereign cloud hosting means organisations under European data residency requirements can access these capabilities without routing workloads outside EU jurisdiction.
