Quantum Software Developer

About PASQAL

PASQAL designs and develops quantum processing units and dedicated software tools. These innovative processors address applications that are beyond the reach of the most powerful existing supercomputers and encompass real-world challenges as well as fundamental science. Because they consume very little power, they will contribute significantly to reducing the carbon footprint of the computing industry.

PASQAL has partnerships with key users in energy, IT, finance, drug, and chemical design, automotive, etc. The maturity and potential of our technology and the quality of our scientific team have been rewarded several times at the French, European and global levels.

Our technology is based on the considerable knowledge accumulated for decades by the Institute of Optics near Paris (IOGS / CNRS); it takes the best advantage of many recent achievements in the field of laser atom cooling, opto-electronics, vacuum, and detection systems. Based in Massy, in the heart of the quantum ecosystem south of Paris, PASQAL is funded by Quantonation, a venture capital fund focused on quantum technologies, and attracts world-class investors.
