Montreal and Paris, September 12, 2024 – Quantela, a European photonic quantum computing company, announced the launch of its Canadian subsidiary Quantela Canada in Montreal. This is accompanied by the deployment of the first European quantum computer in North America at the Bellevue data center operated by Eaxion, a subsidiary of Group EDF.
The deployment is a key step in realizing the partnership signed between Quandela and Exaion in November 2023.
The subsidiary’s opening is scheduled to take place during IEEE Quantum Week (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in Montreal, and serves as a demonstration of the relationships recently formed with Quebec quantum players and Canadian companies. The move confirms Quandela’s commitment to becoming a key player within this dynamic ecosystem. Based in Montreal and Sherbrooke, in the heart of the quantum innovation zone, the Canadian subsidiary will be led by David Rouxel, who holds a degree in Human-Computer Interfaces and an Executive MBA. A successful entrepreneur and international development expert, David brings his expertise to support Quantela’s growth in Canada.
This activity reinforces the company’s international expansion strategy. The strategy will lead to the creation of quantum hubs, real networks of business, technical and scientific partners, aimed at accelerating the quantum transformation of the industries within these hubs. Quandela plans to open a new subsidiary in South Korea this fall.
The launch of Quantela’s Canadian subsidiary coincides with the strategic deployment of the first European quantum computer in North America, installed in Exxon’s Bellevue data center, PINQ², together with the infrastructure of the Plateforme d’innovation numériquet numériquet numériquet. Innovation Base of Quebec). This deployment represents a decisive step in the connection between quantum and high-performance computing technologies in Quebec.
This unique combination of Quantella’s quantum computing, PINQ²’s high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure, and Exaion’s hybrid HPC/Quantum cloud platform enables organizations to create state-of-the-art solutions tailored to their specific needs. This integrated offering will help build applications that meet complex multi-sector challenges. Potential applications include digital simulation of industrial infrastructures through the use of digital twins, simulation of combustion in heat engines, and optimization of naval vehicle trajectories. These innovations will have a major impact on various key sectors of the economy such as energy, cyber security, automotive, aerospace and finance.
The joint offering proposed by Quandela and Exayan is designed to meet the various needs of companies. It offers comprehensive services including team training, identification of relevant use cases and algorithm co-development. These algorithms will be tested not only on Quantella’s quantum computers, but also on GPU-enhanced emulators, thus guaranteeing robust and efficient solutions.
“This Canadian subsidiary strengthens Quantela’s growing ties with Quebec’s quantum ecosystem. The launch of our hybrid HPC-Quantum offering with Exyon represents an exceptional value proposition for enterprises and should facilitate the democratization of quantum computing by solving increasingly complex multi-sector problems. The opening of this subsidiary marks the beginning of our strategy to build quantum centers internationally, with the aim of bringing together a community of industrial, technical and scientific players critical to solving some of the most pressing challenges facing quantum. Humanity”, said Valerian Keys, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Quantela.
