前沿资讯：法国公司Pasqal 将在沙特阿拉伯推出第一台量子计算机
Paris-based quantum computing startup Pasqal has inked a significant deal with Saudi Arabia’s oil giant Aramco, marking the installation of the kingdom’s first quantum computer. Scheduled for deployment in the latter half of 2025, Pasqal will oversee the installation, maintenance, and operation of a powerful 200-cubit quantum computer.
总部位于巴黎的量子计算初创公司 Pasqal 与沙特阿拉伯石油巨头Aramco签署了一项重要协议，标志着该国第一台量子计算机的安装。Pasqal 计划于2025年下半年部署，将监督一台强大的200立方位量子计算机的安装、维护和操作。
Georges-Olivier Reymond, CEO and co-founder of Pasqal expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting its role in advancing the commercial embrace of quantum technology within Saudi Arabia. The initiative follows Pasqal’s successful provision of quantum computers to both France and Germany. Notably, Alain Aspect, a co-founder of Pasqal, was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics for groundbreaking experiments underpinning quantum mechanics, laying the foundation for quantum computing.
Pasqal首席执行官兼联合创始人Georges-Olivier Reymond对此次合作表示了热情，并强调了其在推动沙特阿拉伯量子技术商业化方面所发挥的作用。在此之前，Pasqal已成功向法国和德国提供量子计算机。值得注意的是，Pasqal 联合创始人阿兰·阿派克特 (Alain Aspect) 因其支持量子力学、为量子计算奠定基础的突破性实验而荣获2022年诺贝尔物理学奖。
The allure of quantum computing lies in its potential to revolutionise computational capabilities, with projections suggesting that quantum computers could outpace today’s supercomputers by millions of times in certain computations. This partnership between Pasqal and Aramco signals a meaningful step towards harnessing the power of quantum technology to solve complex problems across various sectors, including energy, finance, and logistics. As the global race for quantum supremacy intensifies, collaborations like this one are pivotal in pushing the boundaries of technological innovation, promising transformative advancements with far-reaching implications for industries and societies worldwide.
量子计算的魅力在于其彻底改变计算能力的潜力，预测表明量子计算机在某些计算方面可能比当今的超级计算机快数百万倍。Pasqal和Aramco之间的合作标志着在利用量子技术的力量解决能源、金融和物流等各个领域的复杂问题方面迈出了有意义的一步。随着全球量子霸权竞赛的加剧，像这样的合作对于突破技术创新的界限至关重要，有望带来对全球行业和社会产生深远影响的变革性进步。
