Pasqal beside IBM and Google

Pasqal machines are analog neutral-atom systems. Superconducting chips (IBM, Google) are gate-based. QPC runs on both paradigms.

Two Different Quantum Paradigms

Aspect	IBM, Google (superconducting)	Pasqal (neutral atoms)
Technology	Superconducting qubits in a chip (microwave circuits)	Neutral atoms (e.g. rubidium) trapped and addressed with lasers
Programming model	Gate-based: discrete gates via provider-native compilation applied in sequence	Analog: continuous Hamiltonian evolution. You control pulses (amplitude, detuning, phase) over time
Native operations	Single- and two-qubit gates; measurement at chosen times	Global or local laser pulses; evolution under a time-dependent Hamiltonian
Qubit layout	Fixed topology on a 2D chip (nearest-neighbor or specific connectivity)	Configurable array in 2D; spacing and geometry matter for interaction
Why it matters for QPC	QPC gate-based circuits (proprietary gate schedule, etc.) run directly on IBM/IonQ-style backends	On Pasqal, QPC uses a Pasqal-native analog circuit (Hamiltonian gate) so the same logical capability runs on their stack

IBM and Google: gate-based, digital-style circuits. Pasqal: analog, Hamiltonian-based evolution. QPC works across both: gate-based on superconducting and ion traps, analog on Pasqal.

What analog means here

On Pasqal’s local qutip backend, the provider expects analog (Hamiltonian) programs. QPC builds that encoding automatically.

Gate-based vs analog (Pasqal)

Gate-based (IBM, IonQ): a sequence of discrete gates. IBM Heron r2 desks (156 qubits) run this way, with public job IDs.
Analog (Pasqal): laser amplitude, detuning, and phase as functions of time. The hardware or emulator evolves under that Hamiltonian. One continuous evolution.

For the Pasqal run we build a Pasqal-native analog circuit: one Hamiltonian gate, device-compatible layout (triangular lattice, 5 µm spacing). The backend reports Backend: qutip (Pasqal). The execution path is fully Pasqal. QPC runs on Quantum Pasqal.

What We Ran and Why It Proves Compatibility

Execution summary

Backend: Pasqal’s qutip emulator (via qiskit-pasqal-provider).
Circuit: Pasqal-native analog circuit (HamiltonianGate) with device-compatible layout. Same qubit-scale demonstration as the gate-based morphogrammatic test.
Result: Successful run. Output: “QPC ran on Pasqal backend (analog circuit)” and Backend: qutip (Pasqal).

QPC runs on Pasqal. The same stack supports Pasqal Cloud (remote-emu-free, Fresnel) with credentials.

QPC across hardware families

One framework, multiple platforms

QPC is demonstrated on:

Superconducting (IBM Heron r2): Gate-based desks on ibm_kingston, ibm_fez, ibm_marrakesh. 156 qubits. Public job IDs. See Highlights.
Trapped ions (IonQ): Gate-based 36Q and related tests. See Azure / IonQ.
Neutral atoms (Pasqal): Analog run on Pasqal qutip. Same QPC compatibility for Cloud and hardware.
Neutral atoms (QuEra Aquila): Analog AHS on Amazon Braket. Same cyber desk as IBM Fez. See IBM + Aquila.

Quantum Polycontextural Computing is a universal quantum computation layer across hardware paradigms, including Pasqal’s analog neutral-atom platform.
