Collaboration

Pasqal & IBM collaboration


IBM and Pasqal aim to develop a common approach to quantum-centric supercomputing and advance application-driven research, working with leading HPC institutions.

Scaling collaboration in 3 strategic areas:

HPC Integration

Share information to support defining and prototyping software infrastructure to enable interoperability between HPC, IBM and Pasqal quantum computers.

Use Cases

Support industry adoption through participation in working groups and exploratory use-case pilots in areas where quantum computing shows near-term promise.

Ecosystem
Contribute to open-source initiatives, whitepapers and community tools that support interoperability and user access to quantum-centric supercomputing.

From Inception

IBM and Pasqal are partnering to develop a unified approach to quantum-centric supercomputing, combining their expertise in superconducting and neutral atom quantum technologies. Together, they intend to advance real-world applications in chemistry and materials science through open-source software and participation in working groups related to hybrid quantum-classical workflows. These activities represent an important step toward exploring scalable quantum computing in industry.

To Expansion

IBM and Pasqal are working on open-source tools and participating in working groups with a goal to enable a unified, hardware-agnostic programming model for quantum-centric supercomputing using Qiskit. These activities serve the goal of allowing users to seamlessly combine IBM and Pasqal quantum hardware. As a first step, Qiskit users will soon gain open-source access to Pasqal’s neutral atom quantum processors.
