Dr. Wasiq Bokhari, CEO of Quantum Computing Firm Pasqal

from SPACInsider · host spacinsider

This week, we speak with Dr. Wasiq Bokhari, CEO of quantum computing firm Pasqal, to discuss its $1.98 billion combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II (NASDAQ:BBCQ). Quantum computers are plugged in and doing real commercial work, but, how can you get them to collaborate with CPUs and GPUs on a single problem? Pasqal believes it may have the answer. Wasiq explains how the company has worked to build a full-stack approach to commercializing quantum solutions and where it has already demonstrated quantum advantage. He also gets into how it is developing software to make engaging with quantum computers easier, and how it can break down problems into the parts that quantum computers, CPUs and GPUs are each best poised to solve the fastest.
