Pasqal Co-CEO Loïc Henriet Predicts Quantum Computing to Disrupt Industries & Society
Quantum computing will shake industries and society like no other. Well, this is what Loïc Henriet, Co-CEO of Pasqal, maintains. At the recent Thoughts 2024 event held by Pasqal, he shared what his groundbreaking technology with neutral atoms could mean for innovation in all sectors.
“Quantum computing is a new way of computing,” Henriet asserted. “So we’ve seen with the advance of generative AI that it can vastly transform the entire society and many industries. And for quantum it will be even more powerful. The changes that we will be witnessing across various industries can be in automotive, material science and engineering. We’ll see many, many breakthrough with this new way of doing computing.”
Pasqal’s unique approach sets it apart in the quantum realm.
“Pascal has two main advantages,” he said. “The first one is the unique technology: neutral atoms. It is scalable, powerful, with very pristine qubits and the other advantage is about industrialisation. So, we are going very strongly on engineering and industrialisation, and we have reliable products that we can operate now,” Henriet added.
As the company transitions from proof-of-concept collaborations to a thriving user community, Henriet underlined the shared vision driving progress.
“In the past few years, we were in the era of proof of concepts where customers were approaching us and we were developing together a proof of concept for their industry and now we are growing into a community of users that have the shared interest in quantum computing to really build the future of this industry,” he said.
With its cutting-edge technology and industry partnerships, Pasqal — a company on our radar for quite some time now — is well-positioned to harness the transformative potential of quantum computing.
“Pascal and quantum computing technology has the potential to revolutionise the way we do computing in various industries and to impact society at large,” Henriet affirmed.
