Google Cloud Marketplace

Pasqal Cloud is available through Google Cloud Marketplace (external) , providing seamless access to our neutral-atom QPUs. The Pay-as-you-go offer enables users to access Pasqal’s 100-qubit QPU with flexible, usage-based pricing integrated directly into their Google Cloud infrastructure.

This guide walks you through subscribing via Google Cloud Marketplace, creating your Pasqal account, and setting up a connection object in the SDK so you can submit jobs.

Available backends

Create an account and connection

Follow these steps to subscribe to Pasqal via Google Cloud Marketplace, set up your account, and create a working connection object in the SDK.

Prerequisites

Before subscribing to Pasqal Cloud via Google Cloud Marketplace, you will need:

• A Google Account (you can create one during the process if you don’t have one)
• 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled on your Google Account (you’ll be prompted to set this up if not already enabled)
• A valid payment method linked to your Google Cloud Billing account (required for pay-as-you-go)

Note

You do not need an existing Google Cloud project or prior experience with Google Cloud to subscribe. The process is designed to be accessible to all users.

Step 1: Access Google Cloud Marketplace

1. Open Pasqal on Google Cloud Marketplace (external) .
2. Alternatively, go to the Google Cloud Marketplace (external) , search for Pasqal, and select the official Pasqal offering from the results.
3. Review the product details, including features (e.g. QPU access, emulators, optimization tools), pricing (usage-based), and terms.

Step 2: Sign In and Secure Your Account

1. Sign in with your Google Account.
2. If prompted, complete any required security steps, such as enabling 2FA. Why? Google Cloud requires 2FA for enhanced security during third-party integrations.

Note

If you don’t have a Google account, you’ll need to create one first by clicking Create account.

Step 3: Configure Payment Method

1. In the Google Cloud Console, navigate to Billing → Payment methods.
2. Add or verify a valid payment method (e.g. credit card).
3. Ensure your billing account is linked to the project where you’ll deploy Pasqal. Tip: Update compliance settings if needed for your organization. For billing details, see Google Cloud Billing docs (external) .

Important

With Pay-as-you-go, you will only be charged for what you actually use — there are no upfront costs or minimum commitments.

Step 4: Subscribe to Pasqal Cloud

1. On the Pasqal product page, click Subscribe.
2. Review the subscription details:
   • Pricing: Pay-as-you-go based on quantum job usage (e.g. qubits, runtime). No flat fees — only charged for what you use.
   • Terms: Accept Pasqal’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
3. Click Subscribe to confirm and proceed.

Note

This links your Google billing to Pasqal automatically.

Step 5: Create or Link Pasqal Account

If you don’t already have a Pasqal Cloud account, you’ll be redirected to create one:

1. If you don’t have a Pasqal account:
   • Enter your email (use the same as your Google Account for simplicity).
   • Set a secure password and provide any required details (e.g. organization info).
   • Agree to Pasqal’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
   • Click Sign Up and verify your email.
2. If you have an existing Pasqal account: click Log In.

Step 6: Find your Project ID

Log into the Pasqal Cloud portal (external) , navigate to your project, and copy the Project ID. You will need this in the next step.

Step 7: Install the SDK and create your connection

When accessing Pasqal through Google Cloud Marketplace, you authenticate using the standard PasqalCloud connection object. Your Project ID is available in the Pasqal Cloud portal (external) .

1. Install

   Install the SDK via pip:

   # install the Pasqal Cloud SDK
   pip install pasqal-cloud

2. Authenticate

   from pulser_pasqal import PasqalCloud
   
   connection = PasqalCloud(
       username="your@email.com",    # your Pasqal Cloud email
       password="YOUR_PASSWORD",     # your Pasqal Cloud password
       project_id="YOUR_PROJECT_ID", # from portal.pasqal.cloud
   )

3. Check available backends

   # list all backends available on your connection
   available = connection.fetch_available_devices()
   print(available) # -> {'EMU_FREE': ..., 'EMU_MPS': ..., 'FRESNEL': ...}

Step 8: Submit jobs using any Pasqal library

Your connection object works with all Pasqal libraries: QoolQit, Pulser, QUBO Solver, MIS, and QEK. You pass it the same way regardless of which library you use.
