| We are a globally recognized neutral atom-based, analog quantum computing company creating enterprise-grade devices. As data sets become more complex, we strongly believe that quantum computing is needed to accelerate the groundbreaking work in the industries that affect our everyday lives, e.g. life sciences, energy, finance, defense, among others.
Just this year, Pasqal delivered two devices to the High Performance Computer-Quantum Simulator (HPCQS) in France and we will deliver another device to the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Jülich by the end of this year. We also just sold an on-prem device to the largest oil and gas company in the world.
In order to enhance the usability of various qubit modalities, we also announced a joint collaboration with IBM to define classical-quantum integration for quantum-centric supercomputers.
As a full-stack quantum computing company, we have also worked closely with commercial partners from the Energy, Life Sciences, Aerospace, Defense and Aerospace, Transportation and Logistics, and Finance industries and are actively working with US National Labs to advance their research.
We are looking for those interested in having a quantum computing device on-premise, those interested in accessing our quantum computing device via the cloud, and partners to collaborate on via Proof of Concept or ARPA-E projects to advance research in materials discovery and development (e.g. hydrogen fuel cell simulation, new battery discovery), optimization problems (e.g. energy management systems), among others. |

| Paulsson invented, developed, built, tested and deployed in deep boreholes the largest aperture, largest bandwidth, most sensitive, highest vector-fidelity, highest-temperature, seismic vector sensors in the industry using fiber optic sensor technologies.
To deploy the sensors in deep vertical and deviated boreholes Paulsson invented and patented a sensor deployment system that allows deployment of all-optical seismic, acoustic, pressure, and temperature sensors in vertical and horizontal wells to a depth of 25kft, at pressures of 25kpsi, and temperatures exceeding 320C (608F). Paulsson is holding many world records for its borehole seismic technologies. It has deployed 8,000 ft long arrays with 160 3C pods to a depth of 12,000 ft using our deployment system in many surveys. Paulsson has performed over 70 Borehole Seismic Imaging Technology 3D VSP (BSIT.3DVSP) surveys using our deployment system and borehole seismic sensors and sensor arrays.
The high-temperature version of our all-optical seismic vector sensor, 3C.FOSVS.Gen2, recorded seismic energy levels at an eight Micro-Joule level at frequencies over 10,000 Hz. These sensors were successfully tested in our high-temperature oven at 320C (608F) for more than a week and we recorded seismic data at frequencies from 5 to 6,000 Hz by tapping the pod equipped with our 3C.FOSVS.Gen2 sensors.
Working with Battelle we installed a 16-level array of 3C.FOSVS.Gen2 to a depth of 5,500 ft into a deviated well and successfully monitored the injection of CO2 into a carbonate reservoir recording the fluid flow noise. We recorded both micro seismic minimum phase events from shots and fracturing as well as squirt-flow mixed phase events from fluid flow, with a duration of 0.5-1.0 sec. We recorded over 500,000 of mixed phase events in two weeks. When the long duration mixed phase seismic events were cross plotted with the injection pressure we found a very high correlation between the CO2 injection pressure and the number mixed phase seismic events.
Paulsson has recorded seismic energy level at a 20 Nano-Joule level at frequencies over 2,000 Hz with our 3rd generation 3C Fiber Optic Seismic Vector Sensor: 3C.FOSVS.Gen3.
Since 2021 we have worked with PG&E at their McDonald Island Underground Gas Storage (UGS) field, the 8th largest in the US, to monitor the injection and withdrawal of methane. We are operating 2,500 Rayleigh Scattering acoustic and 1,800 Raman Scattering temperature sensors. |
