# Pasqal **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/pasqal/ **Website:** https://www.pasqal.com **APIs profiled:** 8 Pasqal is a French neutral-atom quantum computing company headquartered in Palaiseau, France and co-founded in 2019 by 2022 Physics Nobel Laureate Alain Aspect. Pasqal builds commercial-grade neutral-atom quantum processors (the Fresnel QPU family) that use arrays of laser-trapped Rydberg atoms to run both analog and digital quantum programs, and packages them as on-premise systems and as Pasqal Cloud Services — a pay-as-you-go quantum computing platform also distributed through Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure Quantum, OVHcloud, and AWS partners. The developer surface is anchored by Pulser, the open-source (Apache-2.0) Python library for pulse-level/analog programming of neutral-atom devices, the pasqal-cloud Python SDK for submitting Pulser sequences and workloads to QPUs and emulators, and the Pasqal Cloud Services REST API (with Auth0-based authentication and v1/v2 endpoints for batches, jobs, devices, workloads, projects, members, billing, and OVH integrations). The broader ecosystem includes Qadence (digital-analog programming), Pulser Studio (no-code visual programming), the EMU-MPS and EMU-SV GPU-accelerated emulators, and quantum application libraries — QEK (Quantum Evolution Kernel for graph ML), QUBO-Solver, Maximum-Independent-Set, and QoolQit (Rydberg analog algorithm development). Pasqal serves 35+ commercial engagements across energy, finance, logistics, automotive, and pharma — including BMW, Thales, Capgemini, Sumitomo, Aramco, CMA CGM, and KAIST — and partners with NVIDIA (CUDA-Q), IBM, Google, and Microsoft. In May 2026 Pasqal demonstrated logical qubits outperforming physical qubits on differential equations, and in March 2026 announced 340M+ euros of new financing ahead of going public via business combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp II. ## Kin Score — 19.5 / 100 (emerging) Scored 2026-08-21 under rubric 0.12.0.
