Details
- Three new research partnerships were announced at the French-Singaporean Quantum Symposium (FSQS 2025) in Paris, involving Singapore’s National Quantum Office (NQO), France’s Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS), and quantum startups Pasqal and Quobly.
- The CNRS-NQO Memorandum of Understanding was expanded to include quantum computing hardware and algorithms, adding to ongoing collaborations in photonics and energy-efficient quantum systems.
- Pasqal and Singapore’s National Quantum Programmes signed a Master Research Collaboration Agreement to advance neutral atom quantum processors, focusing on accuracy improvements, efficient algorithms, and scalable hardware for large-scale optimization tasks.
- Quobly launched its first international research initiative in Singapore with the National Quantum Federated Foundry, aimed at developing silicon spin-qubit technologies, chip design optimization, and scalable applications for sectors like pharmaceuticals and finance.
- These agreements reinforce ongoing quantum partnerships begun at FSQS 2024 in Singapore and feature input from Nobel Laureate Alain Aspect and quantum pioneer Artur Ekert, with the next symposium set for Singapore in 2026.
Impact
The new collaborations mark a step forward in commercializing quantum research between France and Singapore, signaling both nations’ ambitions to be leaders in this strategic sector. The expanded initiatives strengthen Singapore’s position as a global quantum innovation hub and underscore growing industry momentum in fields such as drug discovery, finance, and logistics.
