On August 28, 2026, Pasqal’s ordinary shares will begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “PSQL,” establishing a timeline for public investment in neutral-atom quantum computing. Founded in 2019 on research that earned a Nobel Prize, Pasqal is now led by a Board of Directors chaired by co-founder Alain Aspect, the 2022 Nobel laureate in Physics.

“As we begin this next chapter as a public company, we are fortunate to have a board that combines scientific leadership, operational experience, and capital-markets expertise,” said Wasiq Bokhari, Chief Executive Officer of Pasqal. The company builds and operates neutral-atom quantum computers for customers including Saudi Aramco and LG Electronics.

Pasqal’s transition to a publicly traded company is now overseen by a nine-member Board of Directors, established after completing its business combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. A majority of the directors are independent, adhering to SEC and Nasdaq regulations, with designated chairs leading the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating & Corporate Governance Committees. The board’s composition reflects expertise intended to guide Pasqal’s expansion; Barbara Dalibard, chair of the Michelin Supervisory Board, and Michel Combes, serving as Lead Independent Director, are among its members.

The company’s quantum computing systems are currently utilized by organizations including Saudi Aramco, Crédit Agricole CIB, and LG Electronics, addressing complex challenges in energy, financial services, and materials science. Pasqal also maintains partnerships with NVIDIA and is part of the IBM Quantum Network. Pasqal’s hardware platform supports current analog workloads while being designed for future fault-tolerant quantum computing, offering both on-premises and cloud access to its technology.

We expect their guidance to help us scale neutral-atom quantum computing and deliver value to customers and shareholders over the years ahead.

Ivy Delaney has been working with neural networks and machine learning since the mid-nineties, back when a couple of hidden layers and a long afternoon of training counted as ambitious. She has watched the field go from academic curiosity to the thing quietly running underneath everything, and she brings that long view to quantum computing. For Quantum Zeitgeist she covers the ground where the two fields meet. That means quantum machine learning and the variational algorithms it leans on, and it also means the less glamorous but more interesting story of classical machine learning already doing real work inside quantum machines, decoding error-correcting codes, calibrating noisy hardware and learning the error models that simulators depend on. She writes about the hardware those algorithms have to run on too, and about the post-quantum cryptography scramble that the same hardware has set off. Her stories typically start with the paper, whether that is peer-reviewed work, conference proceedings or an arXiv preprint, with the source linked so you can hold a claim up against the research it came from. She is unimpressed by benchmarks that will not say what they beat, and by demonstrations that only work in the press release.
