PALAISEAU, France, May 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pasqal Holding SAS (“Pasqal”) today announced new research showing a more advanced approach to quantum computing that can deliver significantly better results on practical problems. For the first time, the company demonstrated that “logical qubits”—a method designed to reduce errors—outperform standard quantum computing techniques when solving differential equations on real hardware. Pasqal recently announced plans to go public through a business combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II.

Pasqal, a leader in neutral‑atom quantum computing, hosted its flagship event Pasqal Thoughts 2026 on World Quantum Day at Le Cercle d’Aumale in Paris. The half‑day event brought together more than 150 participants representing industry, academia, government, and finance from more than 10 countries to explore the rapid evolution of quantum computing from a research-focused technology to an operational component of modern high‑performance computing (HPC) environments. Pasqal recently announced plans to go public through a business combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II (Nasdaq: BBCQ).

Pasqal, a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced a strategic collaboration with True Nexus, a computational intelligence company focused on making protein functionality programmable for real-world food applications. Pasqal recently announced plans to go public through a combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II (Nasdaq: BBCQ).

Pasqal, a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing and member of the NVIDIA Inception program for startups, announced today the integration of the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform (“CUDA-Q”) with its Quantum Resource Management Interface (QRMI) runtime. The integration enables CUDA-Q workloads to be scheduled and orchestrated on Pasqal quantum systems through standard Slurm-based high-performance computing (“HPC”) workflows via QRMI, making quantum processors native accelerators in heterogeneous HPC environments. This milestone follows Pasqal’s recently announced path to go public through a business combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II (Nasdaq: BBCQ).

Pasqal Holding SAS (“Pasqal”), a global leader in neutral atom quantum computing, and Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II (“Bleichroeder”), a SPAC led and backed by Michel Combes and Andrew Gundlach (Nasdaq: BBCQ), announced today that they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement (“BCA”), following the consummation of which the go forward company will operate as Pasqal and is expected to be listed on Nasdaq. The proposed transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory and shareholder approval. As a global leader in neutral atom quantum computing, the deal values Pasqal at $2.0 billion pre-money, and contains $200 million in committed capital via convertible financing, which will allow Pasqal to deliver on its quantum roadmap and technology deployment, accelerate the Company’s efforts in demonstrating quantum advantage and accelerate international commercial and organizational growth.
