“This location is ideal to catalyze PASQAL's collaborations with academic institutions and industries in North America, ensuring a sustainable development in the growing quantum computing market,” said Raphaël de Thoury, CEO of PASQAL Canada. “The ecosystem in Sherbrooke, fostered by the dynamism of DistriQ - Quantum Innovation Zone in Sherbrooke, is fertile ground for quantum industrial companies like PASQAL. DistriQ is unique, as it is gathering the key leading players in the value chain, from science to industrial applications ”.
The applications resulting from the power of hybrid computers (quantum computing combined with High Performance Computing) are multiple, including:
* The optimization of distribution or transport networks
* The understanding of photosynthesis mechanisms
* The design of catalysts for fertilizers or new drugs
* The optimization of batteries or solar cells
