Pasqal is a France-based quantum computing company that develops hardware and software built on neutral-atom technology. Its processors use arrays of laser-trapped atoms to realize programmable qubits and support analog and digital-analog modes for simulation and optimization tasks. The company offers access to its systems via the cloud and on-premises deployments, along with developer tools and application-focused software. In 2022, Pasqal merged with Qu&Co to strengthen capabilities in quantum algorithms for chemistry and materials science.
For the chemical and materials sectors, Pasqal’s technology targets molecular and materials modeling (e.g., electronic structure, catalysis, adsorption, and reaction pathways), as well as industrial optimization problems such as process control, scheduling, and supply-chain planning. The company collaborates with research institutions and industrial users to explore quantum-enhanced methods that integrate with existing high-performance computing workflows, and it provides training and co-development programs to help teams evaluate and develop quantum applications.
Located in Dhahran, a 200-qubit neutral-atom QPU offers low-latency cloud access for industrial apps, enabling optimization, simulation and AI for energy, materials, logistics, CO2 storage; workforce training.
The Middle East's first industrial quantum computer boosts regional expertise, enhances operations, and supports quantum talent development in Saudi Arabia.
