Loïc Henriet

With Pasqal since its early days, I was the company's CTO until being appointed as Co-CEO in 2024. Since March 2025 I am the CEO of Pasqal, overseeing the hardware and software technolgical advancements, as well as the company's overall operations. I hold a master's degree in physics from the École normale supérieure and the École polytechnique, and a Ph.D. in theoretical quantum physics from the École polytechnique. During my thesis, I focused on developing theoretical and numerical methods for describing the dynamics of quantum many-body systems. This area of research is one of the main applications of Pasqal’s devices, as the simulation of interacting quantum systems is notoriously difficult on classical computers and could benefit from direct implementation on a quantum device.
