Pasqal raises $100M to build a neutral atombased quantum computer

News Summary

  • The advantage here is that once you can do this with hundreds of atoms at the same time, you can create both a very dense matrix of qubits and one that, using holographic methods, you can reshuffle in 3D space as needed for a given algorithm.
  • He believes that this will take a system with 200 to 300 qubits.At this point, most researchers believe that we won’t see the industry trend toward a single technology for solving every algorithm.
  • Instead, different quantum technologies will find their sweet spots for solving different problems.
  • This is a relatively new and potentially game-changing approach to building quantum processors.
  • Pasqal, a Paris-based quantum computing startup, today announced that it has raised a $100 million Series B funding round let by Singapore’s Temasek.
  • That almost makes these machines more akin to Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) than more traditional quantum processors.
