PRESS RELEASE — Pasqal, a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced it is supporting the integration of its quantum processing units (QPUs) with the new NVIDIA NVQLink platform.
The platform tightly couples Pasqal’s neutral-atom quantum processors with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing ecosystem, paving the way for scalable logical qubits, practical hybrid quantum-classical applications, and building utility-scale hybrid quantum supercomputers.
Building logical qubits and running hybrid quantum-AI applications require powerful control and decoding capabilities that depend on the tight integration of computational resources. NVQLink provides the open, low-latency and high-throughput interface needed to connect QPUs to CPUs and GPUs in real time, solving scaling challenges in the complex control tasks required by logical qubits. By supporting the NVQLink specification, Pasqal, a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for startups, also ensures seamless interoperability between its neutral-atom quantum processors and AI supercomputing infrastructures through the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform.
“This integration with NVIDIA NVQLink marks a major step toward utility-scale quantum computing,” said Mourad Beji, Chief Software Officer at Pasqal.
“NVQLink will allow us to accelerate our roadmaps towards fault-tolerant quantum computing by enabling better logical architectures and improved integration with classical supercomputers. This builds up our previous collaboration with NVIDIA advancing hybrid quantum computing with the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform.”
“NVQLink unites quantum processors and control systems with NVIDIA AI supercomputing, delivering a turnkey solution for integrating and scaling quantum hardware,” said Tim Costa, General Manager for Quantum at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA and Pasqal are working together to advance hybrid quantum-AI computing to enable scalable logical qubits and practical hybrid quantum-classical applications.”
Through NVQLink, Pasqal’s QPU and its control system are integrated directly within NVIDIA’s accelerated computing environment, enabling low-latency control and data exchange between QPUs and GPUs orchestrated by the NVQLink real-time host. This integration will support advanced calibration, error decoding, and hybrid algorithm execution — key milestones toward logical qubits and large-scale quantum computing.
The collaboration demonstrates Pasqal’s continued commitment to open, interoperable, and industry-ready quantum solutions. By combining quantum and AI supercomputing, Pasqal and NVIDIA are building the technological bridge needed to transform today’s qubits into tomorrow’s practical quantum computers.
