🎉 Congratulations to our friends at IBM Quantum and Université de Sherbrooke on the launch of two IBM Quantum Research Chair positions at the Institut quantique! 👏 As one of the earliest supporters of the visionary project of the Quantum Innovation Zone, at Pasqal we know this will contribute even more to the momentum of quantum research in Canada. Sherbrooke has become a pool of great talents that will be instrumental in taking quantum to the next level! #Sherbrooke #IBM #quantumcomputing #quantumresearch #talent

We are still very enthusiastic about #quantumcomputing taking center stage at NVIDIA's #GTC25! In a first-of-its-kind moment, leaders from the world’s top quantum companies - including our CEO, Loïc Henriet - shared the stage with NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang to explore the present and future of quantum computing. Last week's dynamic, thought-provoking discussion highlighted the diversity of technological approaches, the constructive clashes of perspective, but also the growing consensus on key industry themes: 🔹 Quantum utility 🔹 Integration with classical computing 🔹 And the powerful intersection with AI 🎙️ “Quantum processors will help act as accelerators — working alongside traditional computers — rather than replacing them,” said Loïc, summing up Pasqal’s vision for the quantum-classical future.

🚀 Quantum Advantage isn’t a question of “if” but “when.” When will quantum computers truly outperform classical solutions for real-world problems? At Pasqal, we believe the answer lies in systematic benchmarking – comparing quantum performance against the best classical methods in industry-scale applications. In our latest research, “Identifying Hard Native Instances for the Maximum Independent Set Problem on Neutral Atoms Quantum Processors”, we tackled combinatorial optimization on our neutral-atom quantum processors. But rather than relying on simple problem instances, we push the boundaries with harder benchmarks – ones that truly test quantum capabilities. 💡 Here’s what we explored:  ✅ What makes a good benchmark for quantum computing  ✅ How do today’s quantum processors perform against classical solvers  ✅ What key hardware improvements are needed to drive the next leap forward Congratulations to the authors for their great work and efforts: Pierre Cazals, Aymeric François, Loïc Henriet, Lucas Leclerc, Malory Marin, M.Yassine Naghmouchi, Wesley Coelho, Florian Sikora, Vittorio Vitale, Rémi Watrigant, Monique Witt Garzillo, Constantin Dalyac 👏 📖 You can read the paper here - https://lnkd.in/e4y9bd42 or deep dive into the findings in out latest blog post - https://lnkd.in/eVC8yzFz   Stay tuned for what’s next in our endeavors to crack quantum advantage! #QuantumComputing #QuantumAdvantage #Innovation
