Pasqal and Rahko partner to foster advanced chemistry research

Pasqal and Rahko are excited to announce a 2-year collaborative project co-funded by Région Île-de-France, as part of the Innov’up Leader PIA programme.

Within the project, Pasqal and Rahko will jointly develop algorithms to solve advanced chemistry problems, and fully implement them on Pasqal’s upcoming Rydberg atoms Quantum Processor.

I am very glad to work hand-by-hand with Rahko and to leverage both their unique quantum machine learning skills and the scaling potential of neutral atoms. This joint project is key to bring practical solutions for Quantum Chemistry, in the short term.

Georges-Olivier REYMOND
CEO – Pasqal

We are really pleased to be working with the world-class research team at Pasqal, with the support and funding of Région Île-de-France. Rydberg atom quantum hardware holds great promise for scalability and low error rates, and we are thrilled to be working with Pasqal on algorithms that will enable us to jointly explore the full potential of a Rydberg atom device.
