Decide which neutral-atom QPU access route to pursue - free CEA/GENCI/ EuroHPC access to Ruby (weeks of lead time, specific eligibility) versus Pasqal Cloud pay-as-you-go (today, any country, a card). For requests such as "how do I get QPU access", "which account should I use", "Pasqal Cloud vs CEA", "do I qualify for free QPU time", or "fastest way to real hardware". Hands off to create-pasqal-cloud-account or apply-genci-tgcc-cea: this skill is the decision, not the sign-up flow.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Choose a QPU access route
Two independent routes exist to get a Pasqal-Cloud-or-Ruby-capable account, and neither skill that creates one knows the other exists. This skill is the one place that compares them and sends the user to the right one.
Scope: the decision only. Once the user knows which route they want, stop here and hand off:
- Pasqal Cloud ->
create-pasqal-cloud-account - CEA/GENCI/EuroHPC (Ruby) ->
apply-genci-tgcc-cea
This skill does not create accounts, fill forms, or touch either portal.
Ask these, in order
- Does the user already know which they want? If so, skip straight to the hand-off above - don't make someone who has already decided sit through a comparison.
- Organisation country. Drives eligibility for the free route entirely; ask directly, don't infer it from an email domain or name.
- Organisation type. Academia/research, public sector, industry (funded vs unfunded), or none of those (personal/hobby project).
- How soon does real hardware time matter? The free route's lead time (below) is the deciding factor as often as eligibility is.
The two routes, compared
| Free (CEA/GENCI/EuroHPC, via Ruby) | Pasqal Cloud pay-as-you-go | |
| Cost | Free | QPU hours cost several thousand euros/hour past a small monthly tier |
| Who qualifies | EU / DEP / Horizon-Europe countries: academia, public sector, and industry when doing open research; a large enterprise doing unfunded commercial R&D does not qualify | Anyone, any country |
| Lead time | Weeks - Monthly application windows, plus a technical assessment, then up to ~2 weeks to access | Available today - account creation plus a Google Cloud account, typically same day |
| Hours granted | French Users: up to 100 h. Other: 10-25 h with subsequent reassessment | Metered, no pre-set allocation - billed as used |
| Device | Ruby (Orion), 100-qubit analogue neutral-atom, at TGCC | FRESNEL / FRESNEL_CAN1 (100-qubit QPUs) plus the advanced cloud emulators |
| Hard requirement besides eligibility | An organisation-managed public IP with consistent DNS, for the eventual TGCC SSH connection - needs IT support | A Google Cloud billing account with a payment method |
Recommendation logic
- Already knows the route -> hand off immediately, no comparison.
- Eligible for the free route, and weeks of lead time is acceptable ->
recommend starting that application now (
apply-genci-tgcc-cea), in parallel with a free Pasqal Cloud Explorer account for immediate development (create-pasqal-cloud-account, Explorer only - no need to decide on Google Cloud coupling at this point). - Eligible for the free route, but wants hardware access today, or won't
invest the application effort -> Pasqal Cloud pay-as-you-go
(
create-pasqal-cloud-account). - Not eligible for the free route (country or org type) -> Pasqal Cloud
pay-as-you-go (
create-pasqal-cloud-account); mention the GENCI/EuroHPC contacts above only if the user wants to double-check an edge case. - Unsure, or genuinely undecided -> lay out the comparison table above and let the user pick; don't default silently.
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Consequence |
| Treating "free for academics" as the whole eligibility story | EuroHPC also covers public sector and funded industry/SMEs - a non-academic user may still qualify |
| Recommending the free route to someone who needs hardware this week | The lead time (weeks) is as disqualifying as ineligibility would be - ask about urgency before eligibility |
| Skipping the country/org-type question and guessing from an email domain | Eligibility is organisation-based, not inferable - always ask |
| Forgetting the IP/DNS requirement when recommending the free route | A user without a suitable organisation-managed IP cannot complete the TGCC account even after a successful application - apply-genci-tgcc-cea's early IP check exists for exactly this |
