Neutral-atom processors

At PASQAL, we develop and commercialize second-generation quantum processing units (QPUs) based on ordered arrays of neutral atoms. In this architecture, each qubit is realized with a single neutral atom whose electronic energy levels represent the|0⟩ and |1⟩ states of the qubit. Upon the application of a carefully modulated laser, the atoms are trapped into the desired atomic registry using optical tweezers. Quantum computations can be achieved by shining fine-tuned laser pulses onto the atoms. Finally, the value of each qubit can be measured at the end of the computation by (literally) taking a camera image.
