Pasqal shifts focus to commercial quantum projects
Pasqal, a French quantum computing startup, will now focus on commercial quantum applications and end its involvement in the LSQUARE (PROQCIMA) defense program after meeting its initial goals. French agencies have invited Pasqal to propose a research project on fault-tolerant quantum computing based on neutral atoms, aligning the company's public collaboration with its commercial ambitions. This change dovetails with Pasqal’s broader growth strategy.
