About
Quandela is a French quantum computing company founded in 2017 as a spinout from the Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (C2N) at Paris-Saclay University, headquartered in Massy, France (near Paris). The company specializes in photonic quantum computing — an approach that uses photons (particles of light) as quantum bits (qubits) rather than the superconducting circuits used by IBM and Google or the trapped ions used by IonQ and Quantinuum. Photonic qubits offer key advantages: they operate at room temperature (eliminating the need for dilution refrigerators cooling to near absolute zero), are naturally suited for quantum networking, and have a favorable noise profile for certain computation and simulation tasks.
MKS Instruments (MKSI) reported $3.6B revenue in FY2024, up 15% YoY. Critical supplier of instruments and components for semiconductor manufacturing. HQ: Andover, MA. Market cap ~$6B.
