C12 is building reliable quantum computers.

The company is a spin-off from ENS launched in January 2020 by twin brothers Matthieu and Pierre Desjardins to supercharge the development of the lab’s promising new quantum technology.

Quantum computing has the potential to change our lives. But frequent errors limit the technology’s viability. We are tackling the fundamental issue: the nature of the hardware itself. We are tapping into the simplest material–carbon–to drive a technological breakthrough in the field. Unlike other quantum computers, we use carbon nanotubes as the fundamental building block of our processor. By combining the power of an ultra-pure material with an easy-to-manufacture semiconductor device, we are building a scalable platform for quantum computing.

Our executive co-founders bring a unique combination of scientific excellence and business skills to the company. Our team is made up of the world’s most accomplished experts in quantum electronics and carbon nanotube science. Our scientific advisors are renowned scientists and pioneers in spin qubits: Dr. Takis Kontos, Dr. Matthieu Delbecq and Dr. Jérémie Viennot.

In June 2021, C12 secured a $10 million seed round with funding from 360 Capital, Bpifrance (Digital Venture Fund), Airbus Ventures, BNP Paribas Développement, and Octave Klaba (OVHcloud), and additional grants from Bpifrance and the Ile-de-France Region.

We are leading quantum’s next material breakthrough, and we are just getting started. Silicon enabled the emergence of classical computing – it’s time for carbon to do the same for quantum !

Behind the Scenes: C12 Photoshoot!

We recently captured C12’s energy, creativity, and collaborative spirit through the camera lens!

The photoshoot went beyond individual portraits. We aimed to capture the collaborative energy and innovative spirit that defines C12. The photographer documented both brainstorming sessions in our high-tech new labs and moments of focused concentration at workstations, showcasing the drive that pushes our boundaries every day. We also ventured out of our Quantum Fab, utilising C12's modern workspaces as backdrops for group photos and solo portraits. These images highlight the perfect blend of teamwork and individual expertise that's vital for success in quantum computing.

If you're curious to see our new headquarters we invite you to check out our inauguration video on Youtube!!

It's been a busy week for C12, and we're excited to share our participation in a series of industry-leading events that spotlighted the future of technology:

-France Quantum Conference 2024: C12 took the main stage at the France Quantum Conference, a renowned forum fostering collaboration among leading minds in quantum computing. Our CEO, Pierre Desjardins, joined esteemed partner Air Liquide for a thought-provoking discussion on the future of the field and the immense potential of carbon nanotube-based quantum computing.

-Gathering of France's Top AI Talents at the Élysée Palace: C12 was honored to be among the leading French innovative talents invited by President Emmanuel Macron to this esteemed event. This gathering underscored the importance of fostering groundbreaking technologies, and we were proud to be part of this important conversation.

-Viva Technology's #QuantumVillage: C12 buzzed with activity at Viva Technology, Europe's largest tech event. As a participant in the #QuantumVillage, the premier destination for all things quantum, we connected with experts, gained fresh perspectives, and networked with industry leaders. We were particularly marked by the visit of the Ministre Sylvie Retailleau and Bruno Bonnell of the SGPI, as well as interactions with Valérie Pécresse and Alexandra Dublanche from the region IDF .

-Quantum Night at the Dutch Embassy: This event fostered collaboration within the European Quantum Ecosystem, bringing together researchers, startups, and established companies. C12 gained valuable insights on cultivating top-tier talent, exploring real-world applications of quantum technology, and leveraging these ecosystems for growth.

These events provided a fantastic platform to showcase C12's pioneering work in carbon nanotube-based quantum technologies. We are energised by the opportunity to connect with industry leaders and collaborate on unlocking the full potential of quantum computing.
