Pasqal and True Nexus Apply Quantum Computing to Protein Gelation

Insider Brief

• Pasqal and True Nexus have used Pasqal’s neutral-atom quantum technology to encode selected protein structures linked to the molecular mechanisms behind protein gelation.
• The collaboration combines AI-driven protein analysis with quantum computing to study the relationship between protein structure and functionality.
• The companies said the work could support future applications in food and biotechnology, with the project also tied to Saudi Arabia’s broader plans for applied quantum technology.

PRESS RELEASE – Pasqal (Nasdaq: PSQL), a global provider of neutral-atom quantum computers, and True Nexus, a computational intelligence company focused on making protein functionality programmable for real-world food applications, today announced a major milestone in their collaboration: the successful use of Pasqal’s neutral-atom quantum technology to encode selected protein structures relevant to the molecular mechanisms that drive protein gelation — the process that turns liquids into gels and gives foods their structure and texture.

The milestone marks a first, decisive step toward making protein functionality, one of the most valuable and least understood properties in the global food and biotech economy, computationally accessible and, ultimately, programmable.
