About KIPU

At Kipu Quantum we believe that quantum computing can have an amazing economic impact and might change our society in many different aspects.

Who we are

Our Vision

... is to strive to be the leading quantum applications company in the belief that useful quantum computing will not be achieved on a single universal, wondermachine, but organically develop from many different hardware approaches.

We therefore match the need of applications with the unique abilities of current quantum processors.

Kipu Quantum unlocks today the potential of quantum computing to solve mankind’s most relevant difficult questions, becoming the world’s used and values quantum software company.

Our mission

... is to bring useful quantum computing to the world.

Kipu Quantum will solve the most complex problems with our hardware- and application specific algorithms, running in the most advanced quantum hardware.

  • Strong team

    Our team combines the worlds’ leading researchers in theoretical and experimental quantum physics with experts in applying these algorithms to business.

  • Software products

    After proving performance and scalability of our novel algorithms, Kipu is now developing functioning software for real use cases.

  • Services on quantum cloud platform

    Kipu’s PlankQK platform combines the best quantum algorithms with a cutting-edge platform that allows deployment to corporate users with ease. Hundreds of users have signed up, with a clear, scalable path to commercialization.

  • Reduce time to useful quantum computing

    We intend to drastically reduce the time to useful quantum computing - our solutions enable customers to derive value from quantum computing years ahead of other approaches, i.e. not just in the distant future.

  • Unique quantum algorithms for real-world problems

    What makes Kipu unique is our focus on application- and hardware-specific quantum algorithms which are now at the brink of delivering “quantum advantage” for industry use cases in optimization, AI and simulation, on current hardware generations.
