About Pasqal
PASQAL designs and develops Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) and associated software tools.
Our innovative technology enables us to address use cases that are currently beyond the reach of the most powerful supercomputers; these cases can concern industrial application challenges as well as fundamental science needs.
In addition to the exceptional computing power they provide QPUs are highly energy efficient and will contribute to a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of the HPC industry.
Internship position: Practical implementation of quantum error correction codes
About us
Neutral atoms in tweezer arrays have proven to be an excellent and versatile platform for quantum information processing 12 with excellent scaling perspectives 34. Pasqal is an industrial leader in this field developing machines both for analog and digital quantum information processing.
