This is your Quantum Research Now podcast.

Just before stepping into the studio, I caught the news: today, Pasqal, Europe’s top neutral atom quantum computing company, made headlines with a bold expansion into Korea, backed by heavyweights like LG Electronics and Dunamu & Partners, plus direct support from Seoul and the Korean government. It’s the kind of move that signals not just geographic growth, but a reshaping of the quantum ecosystem in the Asia Pacific, and possibly, the world.

I’m Leo, your resident Learning Enhanced Operator. Picture me tucked into a basement lab, superconducting fridge humming, control boards blinking. In quantum computing, every step forward feels like tuning a violin string across parallel realities. So, what’s so electric about Pasqal’s Korea leap? Let me break it down.

Pasqal isn’t just handing over hardware; it's laying the foundation for Asia Pacific’s first international public-private quantum partnership. Their neutral atom technology—imagine perfectly ordered rows of atoms, each manipulated by finely tuned lasers—creates a quantum landscape like an artist laying pigment on canvas, pixel by living pixel. Unlike the silicon chips you find in your laptop, these quantum arrays can embody superposition and entanglement on a scale that’s only been theory until recent years. With $52 million in new investments and collaborative backing from both local tech giants and government, Pasqal is transforming Seoul into a quantum corridors, not just an innovation outpost.

Let’s connect this with a tangible parallel. Think of today’s best classical computers as world-class chess grandmasters: brilliant, methodical, always thinking one move ahead. Now, imagine a room full of strange quantum players—each able to make every possible chess move at once, until the board itself reveals which realities remain. That’s the power companies like Pasqal are unlocking. The implications? Drug design that iterates on molecules in minutes, logistics systems that practically untangle themselves, new materials born from simulations faster than lightning. Today’s partnership isn’t just business—it’s an invitation to quantum advantage for Asian industries, academia, and anyone willing to ride this technological wave.

Yesterday felt like science fiction; today, science fact. Google’s recent 13,000-fold speedup in physics simulations shows us quantum isn’t limited to arcane labs anymore. But expansion requires vision, grit, and a bit of government foresight—hence why cities like Seoul and partners like LG are jumping on Pasqal’s bandwagon. Together, they’re not just accelerating R&D. They’re making sure Asia Pacific is a major architect of quantum’s next act.

As I shut down my workstation, the hum in the air feels heavier. That’s the sensation of possibility—of multiple futures, all unfolding at once. Thank you for joining me for Quantum Research Now.
