French quantum startup Pasqal is expanding in North America, announcing a 100-qubit QPU sale to Québec’s Distriq and a new factory in Sherbrooke. The 50,000 sq ft facility will produce scalable neutral-atom machines, marking a milestone in regional quantum infrastructure. Backed by public and private investment, the move signals Québec’s rising role in the global quantum race—and a shift from lab to market-ready tech.
