Pasqal and True Nexus have demonstrated a functional integration of neutral-atom quantum hardware with AI-driven models to encode complex protein structures for food applications. This milestone validates the utility of quantum systems in solving specific molecular design problems that are currently intractable for classical computing, moving beyond theoretical benchmarks toward tangible industrial impact. The collaboration effectively bridges the gap between algorithmic intelligence and quantum processing power to address high-value challenges in protein engineering.
Neutral atoms encode protein structures on Pasqal’s quantum system

Pasqal and True Nexus successfully used Pasqal’s neutral-atom quantum technology to encode selected protein structures, advancing understanding of protein gelation.
Pasqal and True Nexus announced on September 2, 2026, they successfully encoded protein structures on a neutral-atom quantum computer, a first step toward computationally designing protein functionality for food applications, the company says. The collaboration tackled protein gelation, the process of creating texture in foods, a molecular mechanism that has resisted computational…
