Pasqal is a full-stack quantum computing company that provides hardware and software to leverage uses cases through neutral-atom quantum technology.

The first generation of Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) made at Pasqal are analog quantum computers. We strive to reach pratical quantum advantage in the analog approach with these QPUs. The next generations of QPUs will be developed towards fault-tolerant digital quantum computers. In order to support the development of such applications we have developed a suite of programming interfaces and emulators that you will find here on our GitHub and which documentation is available on our documentation portal

Pasqal builds quantum computers with programmable arrays of neutral atoms. This is a highly scalable and promising platform to build upon. The architecture is based on the possibility to arrange and move ensembles of trapped cold atoms with synchronised lasers. To generate interactions between atoms, we use resonant laser fields to excite them into highly excited states called Rydberg states. At the Rydberg state the atoms have large pair-wise interaction strengths and are briefly called Rydberg atoms. This can be used to implement both analog quantum computing and 2-qubit digital gates.
