About
The Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternatives (CEA) is France's primary public research organisation for nuclear energy and advanced technologies, and it plays a major role in quantum technology development. CEA is central to France's 1.8 billion euro Plan Quantique, running from 2021 to 2030, and it operates the LETI research laboratory in Grenoble, one of Europe's leading semiconductor research institutes, which is developing silicon spin qubits and other quantum hardware. CEA's quantum research spans several technology streams: superconducting qubits at CEA-Saclay (Institut Rayonnement Matiere de Saclay), silicon spin qubits at CEA-Leti in Grenoble, quantum sensing and atomic clocks, and post-quantum cryptography. The organisation has strong industrial technology transfer capabilities and has spun out or partnered with quantum startups, including those developing silicon-based qubit technologies. CEA participates in the EU Quantum Flagship and leads or co-leads several European quantum projects. The Grenoble quantum ecosystem around CEA-Leti is one of Europe's most active, with strong ties to STMicroelectronics, Soitec, and the deep-tech incubator GIANT (Grenoble Innovation for Advanced New Technologies), which clusters quantum and nanotechnology companies. CEA's IRFU particle physics division at Saclay also contributes to quantum sensing and detector technology development.
