What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Pasqal is evolving its collaboration with French public authorities to concentrate on commercial applications. This involves ending its participation in the defense program LSQUARE, which successfully completed its technological objectives. The company has been asked by the French Secrétariat général pour l’investissement and the French Direction générale des entreprises to submit an R&D program for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
