Pasqal was founded in 2019 by Georges-Olivier Reymond, Christophe Jurczak, Antoine Browaeys, and Thierry Lahaye, spinning out of quantum physics research conducted at France's Institut d'Optique, pursuing a neutral atom-based approach to quantum computing hardware, a technical approach distinct from the superconducting qubit technology that companies like Google and IBM have primarily pursued, using individual neutral atoms trapped and precisely arranged in space using highly focused laser beams (sometimes called "optical tweezers") as the basic quantum bits, or qubits, that perform quantum computations. Proponents of the neutral atom approach to quantum computing, including Pasqal, argue that this technology offers certain potential advantages including the ability to arrange large numbers of qubits in flexible, reconfigurable spatial arrangements, and characteristics that some researchers believe may offer advantages for scaling to larger numbers of qubits, an important consideration since building quantum computers with enough reliable qubits to tackle computationally meaningful problems beyond current classical computer capabilities remains one of the central technical challenges across the entire quantum computing industry, regardless of which specific underlying qubit technology a given company pursues. Pasqal has positioned itself as a prominent European quantum computing hardware company, an area where European companies have had a smaller presence relative to the more numerous and generally larger, better-funded quantum computing companies based in the United States, and the company has pursued both direct sales of quantum computing hardware to research institutions and government entities, and cloud-based access to its quantum computing capabilities for researchers and companies wanting to experiment with quantum computing applications without purchasing dedicated hardware. The company has built partnerships with various European government research initiatives and industrial companies exploring potential quantum computing applications across areas such as drug discovery, materials science, and optimization problems, industries where quantum computing is broadly expected to eventually offer significant computational advantages over classical computers for certain types of problems once the underlying hardware matures sufficiently. Pasqal has raised substantial venture funding from investors including Wa'ed Ventures, Quantonation, and the European Innovation Council, positioning itself as a notable European quantum computing hardware company.
