France National Quantum Update: October 2026

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

France expanded its quantum technology ties with Vietnam in October, combining a business delegation with agreements covering computing infrastructure, research and workforce development. The activity highlighted international expansion alongside efforts at home to integrate quantum processors with conventional computing and improve error correction.

Business France organized a three-day delegation to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City involving Quandela, Quobly, QPerfect and Thales. Quandela signed a two-year memorandum of understanding with Vietnam’s FPT Corporation to explore cooperation across quantum research, applications, training and infrastructure.

Separately, Vietnamese company Quanova selected Quandela’s MosaiQ system for a quantum research and entrepreneurship program at Quang Trung University in Quy Nhon. Supported by Nam A Bank, the project is intended to deploy Vietnam’s first quantum computer.

European computing sovereignty remained another focus. Quobly and SiPearl agreed to explore combining silicon-spin quantum processors with European-designed conventional processors, linking quantum hardware development to the continent’s broader computing infrastructure.
