Pasqal

⚛️ At Pasqal, quantum computing is already here. Our analog quantum computers are being deployed today, solving real-world problems with quantum advantage in the near term. But to unlock the full potential of digital quantum computing, one thing is clear: Quantum Error Correction (#QEC) is not optional. It's essential. 🧠 In the first post of our new series on Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing (FTQC), our colleague Louis Vignoli - QEC Engineer lays the foundation: → Why quantum errors are unavoidable → How analog and digital paradigms differ in managing them → Why fault tolerance is key to scaling quantum systems This is just the beginning. Stay tuned as we reveal how Pasqal is building toward FTQC - combining analog strengths with digital precision. 📖 Read Part I here: 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eNTUhPbR #QuantumComputing #FTQC #NeutralAtoms #QuantumHardware #DigitalQuantumComputing

The Pasqal Community keeps growing 💚 In less than 2 months, it already became a hub for innovators shaping the future of neutral atom quantum computing. During the launch webinar, we dived into one of the big questions in quantum computing: what does quantum advantage really mean and how Pasqal envisions to get us there. If you're already working on quantum computing or want to start from scratch, Pasqal Community is the place to: 💡 Stay on top of the latest in neutral atom technology 🤝 Connect with experts and peers across the field ⚙️ Be an active part of the conversations defining what’s next It’s time to get involved. 🚀 Join the Pasqal Community: https://lnkd.in/dNXHG4M8 #QuantumComputing #NeutralAtoms #QuantumAdvantage #QuantumTech #PasqalCommunity Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://lnkd.in/eF67WWWG License code: 0YF2PMCM53ZAILXL

Institut d'Optique Graduate School x Pasqal Pasqal’s roots trace back to a single research lab at the Institut d'Optique Graduate School (IOGS), where some of today’s biggest breakthroughs in quantum computing were born. Pasqal’s story is one of bold ideas turned into real-world impact. 💡 It all started with pioneering work in neutral atom quantum computing at IOGS. Researchers like Antoine Browaeys, Thierry Lahaye, Georges-Olivier REYMOND, and Alain Aspect pushed the boundaries of what’s possible—laying the foundation for Pasqal’s quantum processors. Now, we’re taking things even further. 🚀 Pasqal and IOGS have launched a joint research lab, bridging cutting-edge research with industry applications. This means faster progress toward practical Quantum Advantage and more opportunities to train the next generation of quantum pioneers. 🤝 This partnership aims to transform academic discoveries into industrial breakthroughs. ⚛️ Discover more https://ow.ly/jXZI50VwBaM #QuantumComputing #QuantumInnovation #Research #Physics

🚀 We’re thrilled and honored to share that Pasqal has been selected as one of the first seven beneficiaries of the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) Scale Up scheme!

We are still very enthusiastic about #quantumcomputing taking center stage at NVIDIA's #GTC25! In a first-of-its-kind moment, leaders from the world’s top quantum companies - including our CEO, Loïc Henriet - shared the stage with NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang to explore the present and future of quantum computing. Last week's dynamic, thought-provoking discussion highlighted the diversity of technological approaches, the constructive clashes of perspective, but also the growing consensus on key industry themes: 🔹 Quantum utility 🔹 Integration with classical computing 🔹 And the powerful intersection with AI 🎙️ “Quantum processors will help act as accelerators — working alongside traditional computers — rather than replacing them,” said Loïc, summing up Pasqal’s vision for the quantum-classical future.
