Scaleway Partners with Pasqal Quantum to Advance QaaS
Scaleway's Quantum Cloud with Pasqal Neutral-Atom Processors
Pasqal Quantum
Pasqal, a leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, will join Scaleway's Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) platform. This crucial relationship was presented at ai-PULSE 2025. This agreement aims to give European researchers and developers access to Pasqal's cutting-edge quantum computing devices. Pasqal is committed to democratising quantum computing using sovereign cloud infrastructure.
Brief Insider
Scaleway's Quantum-as-a-Service platform integrates Pasqal's neutral-atom quantum computers. This considerably expands European developers' and researchers' cloud access to quantum devices. This integration relies on a fluid user experience that lets teams switch between Pasqal's real quantum hardware and GPU-based quantum simulation in a single cloud workflow. The European quantum cloud ecosystem benefits from this combination. Pasqal now deploys Scaleway alongside Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, OVHcloud, and its own platform.
Smooth Developer Access and Workflow
Quantum development workflow is complete and effective with Scaleway QaaS. This cloud architecture makes Pasqal's neutral-atom quantum computers and other top European quantum technology available. This creates a cohesive environment to accelerate quantum technology. Modern quantum computing resources are now available to organisations without the complexity and operational burden of managing physical hardware.
The cloud design gives QaaS users immediate access to Pasqal QPUs, eliminating hardware administration. High-performance GPU-based quantum emulation helps teams develop solutions quickly. As projects evolve and requirements get more complicated, users can easily switch between the emulation environment and quantum hardware. This comprehensive methodology speeds up the development cycle from concept to completion.
The platform provides developers with open-source SDKs including Pulser, Pasqal's Python library. The pulser simplifies pulse-level quantum programming for defining laser pulses and sequences to control neutral-atom systems. Scaleway's unified cloud access to quantum hardware improves quantum computing user experience.
European Sovereign Quantum Ecosystem Construction
Pasqal's incorporation into Scaleway QaaS strengthens its presence across crucial European cloud infrastructure. This follows Pasqal's November 2025 launch on OVHcloud's Quantum Platform, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and its Cloud Platform.
The collaboration enhances the local quantum cloud ecosystem. European businesses may easily investigate quantum computing applications using Pasqal's cutting-edge quantum hardware and open-source development tools and Scaleway's powerful cloud infrastructure. This sovereign infrastructure gives these organisations complete control over their sensitive data and computing activities.
Europe's quantum computing leadership is strengthened by Pasqal's QPUs. Pasqal and Scaleway are enabling experimentation and creativity to drive the next wave of advanced quantum applications by giving smooth access to various quantum modalities on a single platform. This is a major step towards integrating advanced quantum computing, particularly neutral-atom systems, into cloud activities for developers and scholars.
Pasqal's Neutral-Atom Technology and Global Reach
Pasqal specialises in neutral-atom technology, which uses optical tweezers to arrange atoms into qubits. The flexible 2D and 3D layouts of this unique technique make it perfect for solving quantum optimisation and simulation challenges.
The platform provides access to Pasqal's neutral-atom QPUs. Users can employ Pasqal's Orion Gamma generation 100-qubit Fresnel and DistriQ modules. Pasqal is leading the industrialisation and implementation of neutral-atom quantum computing, turning Nobel Prize-winning research into practical solutions for corporations, governments, and academics.
Since 2019, the company has focused on cloud-ready software and high-performance quantum systems for complicated simulation, AI, and optimization applications. Over $215 million from foreign investors gives Pasqal a global footprint with workers and facilities in Asia, North America, and Europe. This global scale accelerates the deployment of reliable, high-performance quantum computing systems.
