Paris-based quantum computing company, Pasqal, today unveiled its product and technology roadmap, outlining a strategy to deliver increasingly powerful quantum computers over the coming years. The plan centres on three core objectives: the rapid deployment of quantum processing units (QPUs), the demonstration of quantum advantage – where quantum computers outperform classical systems – on industry-relevant problems, and an accelerated pathway towards scalable, digital fault-tolerant quantum computing. Pasqal is already integrating its neutral-atom QPUs into high-performance computing centres across Europe and North America, and aims to demonstrate a tangible quantum advantage by 2026, while simultaneously scaling towards systems capable of impactful, fault-tolerant computation.
Empowering the Ecosystem
Pasqal actively cultivates a thriving quantum ecosystem through the newly launched Pasqal Community, a dedicated hub designed to foster open innovation. Complementing this initiative, Pasqal is expanding access to its hardware via forthcoming releases of a complete open-source software stack and its cloud offering, thereby empowering developers, researchers, and quantum enthusiasts to unlock performance, support educational endeavours, and encourage collaborative projects.
Currently, Pasqal’s Orion Alpha machine is accessible through major cloud platforms including Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Marketplace, alongside a dedicated user portal. This multi-faceted approach ensures broad availability and simplifies integration for a diverse range of users.
Pasqal’s strategy centres on delivering tangible quantum value in the present while simultaneously constructing the foundations for future fault-tolerant systems. The 2025 roadmap is specifically designed to amplify impact through expanded global deployments, the demonstration of quantum advantage in addressing real-world industrial challenges, and the accelerated development of digital quantum computing capabilities. This commitment positions Pasqal as a leader in driving quantum adoption and shaping the next phase of the field’s evolution.
Roadmap to 2030
Pasqal’s strategic roadmap prioritises three core objectives: the rapid deployment of quantum computers, the demonstration of quantum advantage on industry-relevant problems, and an accelerated pathway towards digital fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC). The company aims to deliver current quantum value while simultaneously constructing a seamless transition to future, more robust systems.
Current deployments include the installation of neutral atom Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) in High-Performance Computing (HPC) centres in France and Germany, marking a shift towards accessible quantum resources. Future expansion plans include further global deployments, with the next-generation Orion Gamma QPU, featuring over 140 physical qubits, scheduled for delivery by the end of 2025. Pasqal is actively integrating its technology with existing computational infrastructure to facilitate hybrid quantum-classical workflows.
The company is targeting a significant increase in logical qubit performance, progressing from 2 logical qubits in 2025 to 20 by 2027, and ultimately reaching 100 high-fidelity logical qubits by 2029, and 200 by 2030. This progression relies on scaling not only the number of physical qubits, but also improving their reliability through the creation of more stable logical qubits. Subsequent processor generations, Vela (2027, 200+ physical qubits), Centaurus (2028, early FTQC), and Lyra (2029, impactful FTQC), will progressively enhance qubit count, repetition rate, fidelity, and parallel gate operation capabilities.
A key enabler of this scaling is the incorporation of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) into next-generation machines, following the acquisition of Aeponyx. PICs will enhance qubit control fidelity, system stability, and hardware scalability by increasing the precision of individual qubit manipulation and facilitating modularity. This technology will be crucial in transitioning from hundreds to thousands of qubits.
Pasqal is fostering an open innovation ecosystem through the launch of the Pasqal Community and the development of a complete open-source software stack. Access to its hardware is being broadened through cloud offerings on Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Marketplace, and a dedicated user portal, supporting developers, researchers, and quantum enthusiasts.
