Pasqal
Neutral-atom quantum processors for computation and simulation.
Quant Score history
What they do
Pasqal builds neutral-atom quantum processors, using arrays of atoms held by optical tweezers and addressed with lasers to run analog and digital quantum computations. Neutral-atom systems offer large qubit counts and flexible geometries, and are well suited to certain optimization and simulation problems.
Headquartered in France, Pasqal is one of Europe's flagship quantum companies and deploys systems on-premises with high-performance-computing centres as well as via the cloud.
Strengths & weaknesses
- +Neutral-atom architecture scales to hundreds of qubits with flexible geometry
- +Strong European sovereignty positioning and HPC-centre deployments
- +Both analog and digital modes broaden applicability
- –Gate-model fidelity and error correction are earlier-stage
- –Smaller capital base than US mega-funded peers
- !Competitive neutral-atom field (QuEra, Atom Computing, others)
- !Financing needs as it scales manufacturing
