Pasqal and Welinq have teamed up to pioneer tailored quantum interconnects for neutral-atom quantum computing. By combining Pasqal’s expertise in neutral atom quantum computing with Welinq’s innovative quantum networking technology, the partnership seeks to address key challenges in qubit scaling and fault-tolerant quantum computing. Their collaboration targets the development of high-performance Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) and the creation of expansive quantum networks. With ambitious milestones set, including the realization by Pasqal of 1000-qubit QPUs by 2024 and 10,000-qubit QPUs by 2026-2027, the companies envision interconnected multi-QPU systems that will significantly enhance computational power and drive scientific and commercial advancements. This collaboration marks a crucial step towards practical quantum computing and holds promise for unlocking secure quantum information sharing on a large scale. A press release announcing this collaboration is available here.
