Pasqal
Pasqal is a French neutral-atom quantum computing company headquartered in Palaiseau, France and co-founded in 2019 by 2022 Physics Nobel Laureate Alain Aspect. Pasqal builds commercial-grade neutral-atom quantum processors (the Fresnel QPU family) that use arrays of laser-trapped Rydberg atoms to run both analog and digital quantum programs, and packages them as on-premise systems and as Pasqal Cloud Services — a pay-as-you-go quantum computing platform also distributed through Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure Quantum, OVHcloud, and AWS partners. The developer surface is anchored by Pulser, the open-source (Apache-2.0) Python library for pulse-level/analog programming of neutral-atom devices, the pasqal-cloud Python SDK for submitting Pulser sequences and workloads to QPUs and emulators, and the Pasqal Cloud Services REST API (with Auth0-based authentication and v1/v2 endpoints for batches, jobs, devices, workloads, projects, members, billing, and OVH integrations). The broader ecosystem includes Qadence (digital-analog programming), Pulser Studio (no-code visual programming), the EMU-MPS and EMU-SV GPU-accelerated emulators, and quantum application libraries — QEK (Quantum Evolution Kernel for graph ML), QUBO-Solver, Maximum-Independent-Set, and QoolQit (Rydberg analog algorithm development). Pasqal serves 35+ commercial engagements across energy, finance, logistics, automotive, and pharma — including BMW, Thales, Capgemini, Sumitomo, Aramco, CMA CGM, and KAIST — and partners with NVIDIA (CUDA-Q), IBM, Google, and Microsoft. In May 2026 Pasqal demonstrated logical qubits outperforming physical qubits on differential equations, and in March 2026 announced 340M+ euros of new financing ahead of going public via business combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp II.
More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.
API Evangelist profiles Pasqal the way a machine reads it — 45 machine-readable artifacts across 8 APIs, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Pasqal scores 29.7/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 10/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

APIs 8
Each API is captured as its own OpenAPI definition — every operation, parameter, and response. This is the single most useful machine-readable description of what an API does, and it's what lets us score, lint, mock, and generate against it without asking the provider for anything.
