Photonic quantum computing hardware and cloud platform for enterprise
Quandela manufactures photon-based quantum processors and operates a cloud platform (Mosaïq) targeting HPC and research institutions. The hiring mix—sales-heavy with research and engineering roles—reflects a transition from pure R&D to commercial deployment: active projects span fault-tolerant protocol development, on-premise QPU pilots, and hybrid HPC-quantum proof-of-concepts, while pain points cluster around sales operations, long-cycle infrastructure deals, and ecosystem scaling.
Notable leadership hires: Chief of Staff, Research Program Lead, Chief of Staff Intern
Quandela develops photonic quantum computing hardware and cloud solutions for organizations seeking quantum transformation. Founded in 2017 and based in Massy, France, the company operates across three commercial vectors: direct Mosaïq cloud access for quantum computation, on-premises QPU deployments for research and institutional customers, and integration with HPC workflows to bridge classical and quantum infrastructure. Hiring spans France, South Korea, Singapore, Germany, and the United States, with active roles in sales, research, engineering, and manufacturing, indicating concurrent efforts in product maturity, market expansion, and scaling production.
Quandela builds photon-based quantum processors. The stack includes simulation tools (Lumerical, Tidy3D), HPC infrastructure (Slurm, Kubernetes, InfiniBand), and design software (Altium Designer) for hardware development and validation.
Mosaïq is Quandela's cloud quantum computing platform. Active projects indicate focus on selling cloud access, deploying on-premises pilots, and positioning the platform within national and European quantum computing roadmaps.
