French Quantum Computing Firm Pasqal Partners with NVIDIA to Boost Quantum Applications

Pasqal, a rapidly growing French quantum computing startup, has announced a strategic partnership with Nvidia (NVDA.O) to enhance its quantum applications development tools. Through this collaboration, Pasqal’s customers will gain access to NVIDIA’s open-source platform, CUDA-Q, for improved quantum computing capabilities.

The partnership aims to integrate Pasqal’s quantum computing units and cloud platform with CUDA-Q, providing a powerful interface and programming model for high-performance computing. This move is expected to accelerate the development of quantum applications, benefiting both the high-performance computing community and the broader quantum industry.

Loic Henriet, CEO of Pasqal, emphasized that the collaboration would provide a much-needed interface for developers and further fuel innovation in the quantum computing space.

Founded in 2019, Pasqal has already secured over 140 million euros ($151.8 million) in funding, marking it as a significant player in the growing quantum computing sector.
