Briefings

France expanded its quantum technology ties with Vietnam in October 2026 by organizing a three-day business delegation to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City involving companies including Quandela, Quobly, QPerfect, and Thales. A key agreement was the signing of a two-year Memorandum of Understanding between Quandela and FPT Corporation to explore cooperation in quantum research, applications, training, and infrastructure. Additionally, Vietnamese company Quanova selected Quandela's MosaiQ system for a research program at Quang Trung University in Quy Nhon, supported by Nam A Bank to deploy Vietnam's first quantum computer. European computing sovereignty remained a focus as Quobly and SiPearl agreed to explore combining silicon-spin quantum processors with European-designed conventional processors. Alice & Bob reported progress from the first phase of France's PROQCIMA program, targeting prototypes supporting 1,000 logical qubits by 2032, though the proof of concept used synthetic data. The findings regarding Pasqal's quantum magnet study remain a preprint with unexpected behavior reported in a regime where classical simulation methods disagreed.

Key points

• France organized a three-day business delegation to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in October 2026 involving Quandela, Quobly, QPerfect, and Thales.
• Quandela signed a two-year MoU with FPT Corporation to explore quantum research, applications, training, and infrastructure cooperation.

Context

This update details France's October 2026 quantum expansion, including a business delegation to Vietnam and a partnership between Quandela and FPT Corporation. It also notes a Vietnamese company's selection of Quandela's system for a research program at Quang Trung University and a collaboration between Quobly and SiPearl on European quantum computing integration.

Limitations

Some findings, such as the Pasqal quantum magnet study, remain a preprint with unexpected behavior reported in a regime where classical simulation methods disagreed. The proof of concept for Alice & Bob's LDPC-cat code decoding used synthetic data rather than real-world testing.
