Quobly and SiPearl Form Partnership to Integrate European ARM CPUs and Silicon Spin QPUs
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
French silicon spin‑qubit developer Quobly and European HPC processor designer SiPearl signed a Memorandum of Understanding to assess system‑level integration of SiPearl’s 80‑core ARM‑based Rhea1 CPU with Quobly’s silicon QPU hardware. The non‑exclusive MoU initiates a technical feasibility study that underpins Quobly’s Alloyquantum product line, aiming for hybrid CPU‑QPU co‑design and unified European sovereign hardware. The partnership will interface Rhea1 with Quobly’s QPU control stack and cryogenic electronics, leveraging STMicroelectronics’ 300 mm FD‑SOI platform. Both companies plan joint proposals under EU funding schemes, including the Chips Joint Undertaking, to accelerate European HPC‑quantum infrastructure.
💡 Why It Matters
- · By linking a mainstream ARM CPU to a silicon‑based quantum coprocessor, the deal could create the first fully European‑sourced quantum‑enhanced supercomputing stack, reducing reliance on non‑European supply chains.
