Pasqal traps more than 1,000 atoms in a single array

Pasqal/Pasqal QPUs

Pasqal loaded over 1,110 atoms into approximately 2,000 optical traps in a single quantum setup. The company demonstrated atom-by-atom rearrangement of 828-atom arrays using moving optical tweezers, combining innovative optical designs with ultra-high-vacuum-compatible microscope objectives.

• 1,110+ atoms trapped in ~2,000 optical tweezers at 6 Kelvin in a cryogenic environment.
• Demonstrated dynamic atom rearrangement of up to 828-atom arrays using movable optical tweezers.
• More atoms enable solving larger optimization problems and more complex quantum simulations.
• Aligns with Pasqal's roadmap targeting 10,000+ qubits by 2026–2027 toward quantum advantage.
