As the CEO of Quobly, a France-based quantum startup founded in 2022, Dr. Maud Vinet is at the forefront of efforts to bring an operable quantum processor to the market rapidly. This groundbreaking technology harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics, enabling her to address complex challenges in fields such as medicine, energy, and other critical sectors. Quobly’s uniqueness lies in its ability to apply the same scalability to qubits as Europe’s existing semiconductor fabs do with millions of identical transistors. Previously, Maud Vinet led the quantum computing program at the world-renowned NRO - the CEA Leti. For 20 years, she ran technology transfer and development for the semiconductor industry. From 2013 to 2019, she managed the Advanced CMOS activities. From 2009 to 2013, she spent 4 years in Albany (NY, US) to develop Fully Depleted SOI within IBM Alliance together with STMicroelectronics. Maud Vinet has authored or co-authored about 300 papers, she owns more than 70 patents related to nanotechnology and her Google h-index is 57 with more than 12000 citations. In 2019, she was named Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour.
